Bucks Herald reporter Thomas Bamford set up his camera at the top of the hill, in an effort to see the meteor shower.

And as these pictures show, despite a full moon affecting the light, he was not disappointed.

The dracnoid meteor shower was caused by the earth's atmosphere coming into contact with debris rock and the dust from a passing comet.
