The nearest part of the object was only a few inches away from the camera lens which was tilted down much more than shown in my photos.Dick Raynorhttp://www.lochnessinvestigation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629061224332673795.post-22538398463953415752013-02-19T05:44:57.638-08:002013-02-19T05:44:57.638-08:00Having reviewed the video and noticed the twig and...Having reviewed the video and noticed the twig and leaves just to the right of the object, I would estimate the width to be 4 to 6 inches, more consistent with a dead and headless fish, tail end nearest the camera, than a seal of either species. I now estimate the total length of the object to be 12 to 18 inches based on the leaves.Dick Raynorhttp://www.lochnessinvestigation.comnoreply@blogger.com
