lasermonkey Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Lots of traffic today: several great tits, blue tits, robins, dunnocks, goldfinches, greenfinches (numbers seem to be recovering slowly), along with the usual sparrows and squabbling starlings. Even though we only have a small garden, we have quite a few feeders out and get lots of visitors. The more exotic of these were a goldcrest, a somewhat lost reed bunting, a great spotted woodpecker and that make sparrowhawk I managed to get some pictures of last year.

Mr T Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 We have robins in a nest box I built so chuffed about that. Last Wednesday a C17 flew over several times doing practice approaches into LBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Not exactly over my house but 2 Puma's flew over me whilst I was walking my dog this afternoon, and on Tuesday the British Antarctic Survey Twin Otter flew a survey/mapping flight over the factory where I work, and no I don't work in the Antarctic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 A P-40 flew over earlier, went round a few times and disappeared from whence it came. A P-51D did the same thing a couple of days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetblast Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 A couple of DHFS / SARTU Griffin's flew West along the Great Glen this morning & headed back East a few minutes ago, possibly out of Lossiemouth. Quite a way from home - maybe doing a bit of fishing in Mallaig... Edit:- Now back & circling a gloomy looking Ben Nevis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Taylor Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I left my house for work at 6am this morning and was greeted by the usual early morning 100ARW KC-135R out of Mildenhall. There are clearly some benefits to living in the Fens, when you also throw in regular F-15s and CV-22s . . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Just had a Meteor fly over, heading East, so I assume it's going to Duxford. Always a treat to see one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagey Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Just had a Meteor fly over, heading East, so I assume it's going to Duxford. Always a treat to see one! Just seen the same.

foresterab Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 CL-215T Convair 580 (two of them) Eurocopter AS350B2 Missed the 212's taking off. Forest fire 40 km to the west so last 6 hours have been water bombers orbiting over town reloading. Sad news is we just lost a pilot on a different fire Friday - Air Tractor 802 crashed killing the pilot on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonhoff Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Red Arrows flew over Mountsorrel, Leics about 17.15 today. Counted 10 Hawks though. Thought only 9 displayed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 On my way to pick up my step-daughter from air cadets at RAF Brize Norton this evening I was treated to a fly-past from a CV22 Osprey on approach to the east end of the runway. VERY, VERY excited as I've not seen one of these before!!! I'm used to seeing many different aircraft buzzing around but this really did leave me speechless with a dropped jaw...

Rick Brown Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Tucano well below the weather and on a wing edge over Upton. Going like stink! Am I the only one who thinks this is a modern day Spitfire? Rick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
