Pictures of the largest turlough in Ireland at Rahasane, near Craughwell in east Galway. In full flood, Rahasane covers about 250 hectares, and is host to thousand of migrant birds every winter. In 2008, heavy summer rain means that the turlough has filled early. A turlough is an Irish term for a seasonal lake; i.e. one that usually only fills in winter.
A winter's dawn at Rahasane - the water is near to the gate though it usually egts fuller before the end of winter.
