Hello there, Welcome to our third podcast with Alan Balfe, Wildlife and Education Officer at Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park. We sincerely hope all of you are doing well and most importantly that you and your families are all healthy. Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park remains closed for tours and activities at present as we continue to work together as a nation to control the impact of the virus COVID19. Our third podcast talks about Dragonflies and Damselflies. Dragonflies and Damselflies are found throughout Ireland around most of our healthy ponds. There are 13 species of Dragonflies and 11 species of Damselflies in Ireland. They are very colourful if you had the chance to see them, they are fast and tend to hover as well. They have a secret life beneath the water of their ponds. Dragonflies and Damselflies can spend up to 6 years living underneath the water surfaces as nymphs.  We will keep you updated with news from us and we cannot wait to welcome you all back to us again. #StaySafe #StayLocal #HoldFirm #InThisTogether Stay Safe, Stay Local & Best Regards, From all the Wetlands Team ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be sure to stay up to date with all our social media channels and we hope to welcome you all back for a Nature Tour and a coffee when we open.
