Tried landing my DJI Mini 3 Pro onto the surface of a calm(ish) Lake in Wigan
Amberswood Lake, Wigan
Amberswood and Low Hall were created as a result of mining, but today are areas rich in wildlife and ready to be explored.
Amberswood is a 160 hectare nature reserve at the heart of Greenheart. The area consists of a series of small lakes, ponds, woodlands and wetlands, including a Site of Biological Importance. The area has many different environments to discover, from woodlands to wildflowers meadows, grasslands to wetlands. This mosaic of habitats support many birds, insects and mammals.
Today, over 6km of paths and part of the excellent Greenheart Jubilee Way run through Amberswood, so it is easy to get out and explore. It is also an excellent site for some outdoor exercise, Wigan Harriers host trail races on the site and a permanent orienteering course has been developed.
An outdoor classroom has been constructed in one of Amberswood’s many blocks of woodland. This is open for the use of the 3 local primary schools; Ince St. Mary’s CE Primary School, St Benedict’s Catholic Primary School and St Peter’s CE Primary School. Woodland totem sculptures have also been erected near the path entrance to the woodland classroom.
Many footpaths have been upgraded on the site including the main path around the lake. Further improvement works have taken place through Woodland Improvement Grants which Wigan Council has received from the Forestry Commission. Present public use includes dog walking, cycling, horse riding and as an area for recreational use.

It's not often you see a drone land on water and survive so hats off to the little mighty Mini 3 pro, and to you for giving it a go, great video loved the music track.👍👍
lols, I have to admit and say i put my hands over my eyes and shouted "what is he doing…" 😳 Great video buddy!
Are you kidding me was what my first thought was but you have attached floats to the drone ? Brave man wouldn't be me 😅 nice flight my friend 🎶🎥👍
Wow with the initial water shot I’m still not quite sure how that’s worked but bravo 👏🏼 and wonderful calming film Gaz

😮 wait, what???? How did it go underwater and then take off again?
Very smooth footage and amazing to see the drone with the water. Hope your having a lovely weekend. Matt & Bec 😊❤
What happened at the start, did you accidentally use two Austin Allegros as floats? Great video Gaz, and the nature bird watch at the end, you're better than Johnny Morris……. come on you other commenteers, show your age 😂
I thought I was risky 😂. Even with the floats I wouldn’t try it lol.
