      I find this fascinating:

        I like anything like that but I am partial to watching the Local Train Trackers rather than planes. I can not remember the exact address, it’s been a while. Although a little naughty it’s also interesting and simple to do to listen to the control towers and pilots. Search SDR For ideas.

          That’s been on my bookmarks for some time now, along with the live lightning/thunderstorm tracker. HERE. That gets real lively during bad rainy weather ( of which we have lots ) sometimes you can see a lightning strike out of your window and it shows on screen about 2 or 3 seconds later.

            I like the thunderstorm one, I keep trying to catch a good thunderstorm heading my way but it always happens when I’m already asleep.

            Also live wind is fun to watch when there are hurricanes:

              Been using Flight Radar on my phone and laptop for many years. Very handy for tracking incoming flights when on the various airport runs and parked up a few miles away.

                  Just had a look at Birmingham airport, I never knew that the ground vehicles could also be tracked on flightradar!

                    Didn’t know about that one. Looks very interesting. Will have to do some exploration in space 🙂
