I USED A SIGMA DP3 QUATTRO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Today I got the DART [Dublin Area Rapid Transit] to Booterstown and I then walked to Blackrock. The trains were packed and there were many visitors from the UK because it is a major holiday in the UK. I had intended to get a train from Blackrock to Dun Laoghaire but changed my mind as the last of my four batteries was at 20% [this is one of the major problems with the Sigma DP3 Quattro].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The area is home to Booterstown marsh, a bird sanctuary which has been leased for many years by An Taisce, who have worked to protect it. Species seen regularly include mallard, Eurasian teal, common moorhen, water rail, grey heron, little egret, common redshank, greenshank, Eurasian curlew, common snipe, Eurasian oystercatcher, bar-tailed godwit, common kingfisher, sedge warbler and dunlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Catholic Church of the Assumption is a focal point of the area along Booterstown Avenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booterstown has a dedicated Circus Field located along the Rock Road, where both Tom Duffy’s Circus (June\/July) and Fossett’s Circus (October) are set up once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Old Punch Bowl pub, which stands at the bottom of Booterstown Avenue, was established in 1779.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merrion Cemetery is an old cemetery that was used from the 13th century to 1866 and is located at Bellevue between Booterstown and Merrion off the Rock Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booterstown was recorded in 1488 as one of the locations for the boundary of The Pale \u2026 “He’s out there \u2026 totally beyond the Pale of any acceptable human conduct.” That’s how the U.S. Army describes Marlon Brando’s rogue colonel, Kurtz, in the movie Apocalypse Now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
