Note: the radiant of the Eta Aquarids, which peaks around 5th thru 6th May, is challenging to observe from the UK due to its radiant in the constellation Aquarius being quite low on the horizon during dawn in the UK – the low altitude means that fewer meteors are visible because the Earth’s atmosphere obscures part of the view.
