Bit later than last year but there have been nice displays reported over Europe the past week.
A faint but nice display of them outside now.

Pic from Poland last night

i was just thinking about these this evening, thinking i hadn;t seen them yet this year, went out looking around 11:30 but nothing. was out a little while ago and I could see the faint glow alright. Nice to see them back

Yes indeed:)..Faint but definitely noctilucent clouds and i so wish i had a decent camera to do them justice

Noticed them last night coming home and managed to grab a poorish photo, if they hang around for a while hopefully I'll be better prepared.

Not sure if noctilucent clouds or the faint hint of sunlight still to the north. Always gets me this time of year

Nice display of them again tonight.

fantastic display tonight - please someone with a decent camera take pictures of them

-edit-

taken with my cellphone, the area inside the blue rectangle is the display.

Brilliant! Never seen them before, didn't think it was possible with all the artificial light in a city.
edit: I'm kicking myself for being too lazy to get out the camera! Hopefully tonight there will be a repeat and I'll be prepared.
It really was an unusual sight to see the northern horizon all lit up at 0215 but you will need a clear view of the horizon with no trees or buildings blocking the view.

Nice looking display from north co Dublin tonight. Wish I had a better camera.

Yeah they look amazing from Dublin tonight!

a brilliant display tonight - much better than Tuesday night,
Strange that I never saw them before this week?

Great show in Waterford City tonight. Probably the best i have seen in these parts. Shame my camera is not up to the job but will post this pic anyway.
