Yesterday evening (13th March), I went to the top of Boars Hill, just outside Oxford, for fine views of the comet Panstarrs. It was only just visible to the naked eye but the tail showed well in binoculars. Given a few more clear skies, it should be visible over the next few evenings in the western sky, about half an hour after sunset, low down below the new Moon.
We can hope that it is an omen for a good butterfly season
