Visible to the south east after 0800 today. Only a small patch but
the first I've seen for some time.


Are you sure it wasn't iridisation in some high cirrus?


Thanks for the reply guys and I can assure you it was a single small
cloud.


But surely at 0800 the sun is above the horizon. IIRC you only see
nacreous cloud when the sun is below the horizon.
