Absolutely real, no flash just beautiful, clear, sunny weather. I have not another picture, but going to upload this one again without zoom. Hope this helps.
Is this blue colour real or did it come from some reflection or flash or... I could not find a local bug with this bright blue colour. Do you have some more pictures? It would help to ID. Maybe you connect the spotting to the mission "Pannonian wildelife" (http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7960794). It would fit perfectly.
