Man spotted what's described as part of Nessie 's body near the surface at Dores Beach .

Sighting hailed by Loch Ness Centre as the first Nessie sighting of the year .

Centre has hosted The Quest a mass hunt for the monster for two years running.

It says conditions on the day of the sighting were 'absolutely perfect'.

Some believe Nessie is a long-necked plesiosaur - like an elasmosaur - that survived somehow when all the other dinosaurs were wiped out.

Others say the sightings are down to Scottish pines dying and flopping into the loch before quickly becoming water-logged and sinking.
