Boultham Mere by drone from August 2017

I wanted to finish the year with a drone video as. I've not made one for a while and plan more for 2024. The weather stopped me making a new one for today, so I reworked one from six years ago, I hope you like it. This is also my 1,000th video, which sneaked up on me unnoticed. Subscriptions have risen recently, but have stubbornly remained below the magical 1,000, so any help with that would be greatly appreciated :) Boultham Mere nature reserve is one of my favourite green spaces around Lincoln. It might not be as popular as Hartsholme, Swanholme, Whisby or the Commons, but you can almost always guarantee peace and quiet here because is it so little known compared to the others. The nature reserve was initially excavated as a source of ballast for the construction of the nearby railway in the mid 19th century. It has since matured into a most attractive lake with beds of reed and sedge, and emergent vegetation. There are mature trees and shrubs, mainly willow and sallow, flanking the railway. A wildlife hide overlooks the mere to the west of the reserve. The reserve attracts many wintering wildfowl including teal, shoveler, goosander and goldeneye. There are also many breeding birds including up to 20 pairs of both reed and sedge warblers, two pairs of great crested grebes and three pairs of little grebes. Kingfisher and common tern also breed on the reserve. The reserve and adjoining drain are rich in dragonflies and damselflies with 12 species regularly recorded. Many butterflies may be seen in summer including orange tip, ringlet, large skipper, meadow brown and wall brown. Flowering plants of interest include greater spearwort and the rare water-violet. I've also seen deer and foxes in there many times.
