It was indeed a clear night - I got out @2:30am with a couple of flasks of strong coffee & was seeing meteors from the off.
The hail of them didn't happen tho but @ 5am, there was @20mins of big, bright meteors radiating out over the sea & towards the west - Classic Leonids, leaving great long trails arcing across the sky. Smaller meteors were visible on a minute-by minute basis all night.
Saw two owls & some deer too.
Eventually @6am, the cloud began to rise & I got an hour or so's sleep - only to wake-up to the first lying snow of this year & a lovely bright sunrise:
