Satellite spotting

The sky last night over the part of Sussex I live in was AMAZINGLY clear around 2300. Whilst escorting the dogs on their night-time 'constitutionals' I saw lots of satellites over a 20 minute period. All but one were south to north, one north to south. I did not see one west to east. I was under the impression that polar orbits were less common than equatorial? Does anyone here know about satellite orbits and how many there are on polar paths?
