Flying with the godwits........





Filmed with the Mini 3 Pro.

Nice video - autumn is here and with it same good possible shots. Well done

Pervasive mists are a sure sign that Autumn has arrived witha vengeance.  A nice ethereal quality to the light for that flight. As you might expect, we don't get any sandpipers, or godwits, around here.  Peewits. or lapwings, are prevalent.

Those jet trails higher up?

Yes, the contrails are from the airliners which are mostly going to Heathrow airport,  its a main flight corridor above the River Thames.

We have plenty of lapwings here too,  they are all known as Larry.   And then with have Eddie the Egret too.  In fact most of there birds are named. .  Yes Im a loon.

Remarkable footage DA.    The mist adds to the mystique of the video.  Man, that's a lot of contrails in the sky, especially for this being shot so early in the morning.

My pleasure DA.    Yeah, now that I think about it that is not too far from Heathrow.  Could well be in a take-off or landing corridor.

Stunning atmosphere and quite a bit of air traffic!

Superb video.
Love those foggy shots!

Cheers Monty,   did you spot the train?

At night I can sit in the hot tub and watch them coming out of London

I think I just replied to your evil twin about this vid

No doubt then you are in one of the main flight corridors.  As long as they stay airborne no issue for you.

Odd.   This one had disappeared so I reposted it thinking something went wrong.

Most of those flights are >10’000 feet,   There is a more local airport where there is a small corridor that is limited to 196ft for me.    My biggest problem is that the air school keys the learners fly under 400ft on regular occasions.  

Both versions are still viewable though

Yes he was posting scores of still images, probably just for the points.
I noticed he has been blocked.

You're welcome.
No I missed that, but I will have a second watch!

Yeah, private plane under 400 feet here (unless landing or taking off) is a definite no no.  I do see Helos breaking that all the time though.

Shame here,  they fly over from another county and do manoeuvres sometimes as low as 250ft.

Luckily he has.
Random replies and too many posts.

I should have tagged you in it do you'd know.

I agree about his replies.  

DAFlys Posted at 9-25 23:31
I agree about his replies.

At first I thought he was replying to his posts, but it was random and annoying

This way worked well too!

Well he did rather overdo it. The Mods were bound to put a block on it in the end.

I dont think he understood the categories and that they all turn up in the same place anyway.

Meantime the categories are all messed up.
