The Moon and Mars say their farewells and a Red Kite moves onto the Heath

Sadly, thick cloud and persistent drizzle on Thursday prevented me from seeing the really close conjunction between two of the four brightest objects in the sky: however, they were still near enough to be noteworthy last night.

On the way back from a shopping trip, Linda and I were delighted to see that last week's Red Kite is still hunting over exactly the same local field: let's hope it's going to become a permanent feature.
