Teaching someone how to shoot

Don't shoot the camera man

I spent an interesting day in Ashbourne Shooting Grounds last August, teaching Cian Ward, the Meath Footballer how to shoot. It was for the RTE programme “The Road To Croker” which went out just before the game against Kerry. The beat the crap out of us! Cian turned out to be not a bad shot with the gun and even managed to break a few clays.

*Update* Thank you to Stephen who has identified this bird as a crow peregrine falcon.

§ March 25th, 2010


I’m not sure if someone was trying to add a seasonal touch to the statue of Turlough Carolan (as gaeilge – Toirdhealbhach Ó Cearbhalláin) last Christmas by adding a tree, or maybe it was just a prank by someone on their way home from the pub. The composer and musician died on this day in 1738.
