and live on Freeview channel 276
Lee Collings, 46, said he had never seen anything similar in over 30 years as a wildlife photographer.
He said: "I am 46 years old, and have been a birdwatcher for over 30 years, and I've never seen anything like this, other than a crocodile or alligator.
"It walked like it was rigid.
"It moved slow, but too fast to photograph it.

"I'm not bothered about being ridiculed, I'm that confident about what I saw.
"The only thing that it could be, if there's any in the area is an Otter, but it was moving too slow and rigid."
