Comet NEOWISE.

Nothing much to do with valley wildlife, unless you can spot the Pipistrelle bat which has emerged from the side of my dormer window where there is a roost, but  newly discovered comet, NEOWISE,  now visible from the village. It can be seen just below the Plough in the north west sky just after sunset. It is visible to the naked eye in more favoured locations, but light polution in Martinstown makes it necessary to use binoculars.It is now moving away from Earth and will be getting fainter. Its orbital period is stated to be 6700 years, so better grab it now.
