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.

  > The turlough at Rahasane in Galway in early September 2004 - completely empty. In winter (as can be seen in the other pcitures), the rain fills the lake right to the gate.
