A rare sight
A local boat tour group made a turtley cool find in the Fossdyke Canal.
Crew from the Brayford Belle snapped a picture when they saw a terrapin turtle sunbathing in amongst the reeds.
Jessica Wyatt spotted the reptile near to the Carholme Golf Club and it stayed there for the rest of the day.

She said: “We spotted this turtle in the water so we thought that it might be something you wanted to show as it’s a rare sight.”
Turtles are not native to Lincoln waters and normally need water temperatures of around 22 to 25 degrees celsius.
Last summer, Marilyn Shepley spotted a similar reptile near the locks on Stamp End. Could it be the same one?
