Thanks for all your contributions last month.

A new month has started, so again opportunities to share your (pictorial) sightings.

Hi,

Just one photo from Sunday. Although the sky looked beautifully clear all day, conditions were pretty poor and it seemed like there was a lot of moisture in the air. Photo taken without the televue.

Hello,
many interesting aircraft buzzing around, but it´s hard to get them, because of the fog. At least there were a few moments with blue sky, but still many crap photos with massive distortions :( .
Hope you like the birds ;)

best wishes
Kopinet

Hi,

Two photos from Saturday. Weather conditions not bad, although high cloud present in the afternoon. The sun is nice and low now and shines nicely undreneath the fuselage, making more details visible :)

Hello,

My catch of the day... just two photos caught before the high cloud invaded. Many aircraft were not routing as normal, sending a lot of movements more south than usual.

This classic 747 is not fitted with ADS-B, and it can be difficult to trace as it does not show up on flightradar24. Luckily today the contrails of the "silent mover" caught my eye, however it usually passes over me without any notice.
