Nature File Episode 2 – Turloughs

A very particular kind of seasonal lake occurs on Ireland’s limestone lands.  A turlough is a lake that fills up with groundwater in winter time and empties out in summer, with a special suite of flora and fauna adapted to the seasonal disappearance.  Discover the life in turloughs in this week’s Nature File.
