Been trying for ages to spot it for weeks but it has been too cloudy where I am from in England but for two days straight I managed to catch it! So cool

This pic was taken on my phone sorry for bad quality :/

My apologies for the weird input of the video it seems like I must have run into a problem caused by Reddit or my video editor.
