Lots of children and parents who Home Educate love CSI investigations. They are all based on real-life mysteries which instantly inspire and intrigue children of all ages. There’s also the sense of ownership that children get from being in charge of investigating the evidence and drawing their own conclusions. So, a piece of floating wood and not a prehistoric monster as we would have some bodies dotting the shoreline by now - and I don't mean sunbathing. No aquatic dinosaurs but a vague reference to massive fish. Perhaps someone could clarify this as another later Mail article quotes a Hayley Stevens, identified as a paranormal researcher (though actually a sceptic of the paranormal):

The golden rule for solving ghost and monster mysteries is to keep it simple. Although it can be tempting to let your imagination run wild, the simplest solutions are almost always the correct answer, so start with those. Lay out what you already know and more often than not, the knowledge gaps fill themselves in. Weaver, Matthew (5 September 2019). "Loch Ness monster could be a giant eel, say scientists".

In April 2012, a scientist from the National Oceanography Centre said that the image is a bloom of algae and zooplankton.

I think that fairytale like beginning sums up any documentary. It is natural to start a story at the beginning and for most that is the year 1933. So the various participants took us through the proverbial first sighting in water, first reporter, first sighting on land and first photograph. Now through all these narratives, the odd mistake will be made. I make them myself when I appear in such productions if one mis-speaks during an interview. One normally does not ask for a re-take if it is a minor sin of commission or omission. One more thing, my academic training is not scientific, but humanist, but I think I remember in the physics subjects I took in high school, that there was something called "viscosity coefficient" (or something similar) of liquids. I don't know if it could be applied in some way through photographs to try to estimate the size of objects in the water. I mention it because I seem to remember that someone commented that one way to estimate the size of, for example, a model of a ship in a marine-themed movie was precisely the viscosity of the water, which would make the drops and waves appear too large for what would be expected from a full-size ship.

You may have noticed that there is something missing. The rightmost hump is gone, so perhaps this is a different picture? Unfortunately not, as an another examination of the water patterns around the humps conclusively shows it is again the same photograph. The only question is whether the hump was removed from the original image or was added to the original image? Since it is easier to overlay an image than delete part of an original, it was surely added to unoccupied water.
