Hello,
Just back from the field! 
>From Ermelo, the Netherlands I could observe some hours before clouds of a front closed the sky. I have to listen to my tape, but I had a great session and saw incredible meteors!
Roughly between ~21 and 23:30 UT I counted 10-15 Taurids an hour. And again some bright ones: +1, 0, -1 and a -2. Highlight however, was a bright Taurid at approx. 22:27:10 UT. The sky lit up very bright and in the corner of my eye I did see a bright Taurid fireball of -8 or -10. It appeared near Procyon, 5 degrees above the horizon in eastern direction.
On a weatherforum in Germany there are also some reports of this extremely bright fireball. Yes, what a great night. Tomorrow I sent final data.
Good night!
Koen Miskotte
