Lights on so they see you coming? Suggests BossEyed...

Now there's a good idea! ! ! and not just for avoiding birds.

At Wellesbourne, while waiting for an engineer to check out my PA18, it was a glomy day. Typical November in the UK. I was visiting the tower, observing the locals in a busy busy circuit.

And how many aircraft in the circuit had their lights on?

Only one. The rest emerged from the gloom without warning. Is there a rule in this country says don't worry about saving lives....mustn't wear out the battery!
