I've seen a few of them over the years on the river in Kilcolgan and also on the shannon so not so sure they're that rare... they sound like a helicopter as they pass.

im sure you have and so have many people, but there is a big difference in recording it , or just seeing a big fly pass by at speed, as there is no mistaken identity as there are similar types of dragonflies, nearly the same size and nearly the same colour, but not.....

sent the vid to the dragon fly dudes in ireland .... waiting on them to show me some photos of irish found .... and sure it looks a bit different to the ones iv seen in the past ,,, some are yellow and turn green when mature,,,,

I cant find any photos of them from Ireland let alone the Corrib...can you?

Ah sure next time I see one I'll knock it on the head with the side of a knife blade and get you your picture...
