It was taken on a camera phone by Tom Pickles, 24, while kayaking on the lake as part of a team building exercise with his IT company, CapGemini, last Friday.
Mr Pickles said he saw an animal the size of three cars speed past him on the lake and watched it for about 20 seconds.
He said: “It was petrifying and we paddled back to the shore straight away. At first I thought it was a dog and then saw it was much bigger and moving really quickly at about 10mph.

“Each hump was moving in a rippling motion and it was swimming fast.
“Its skin was like a seal’s but it’s shape was completely abnormal – it’s not like any animal I’ve ever seen before.'
This is believed to be the eighth sighting of a long humpbacked creature – known by local residents as 'Bownessie' – in the past last five years."
