Bear in mind as well that most of the public can't judge the height very well either. I was once reported for low flying, complete with police interview, despite being at 3000' and in controlled airspace.

I got reported too a few years back, did a couple of orbits over the folks house on the way back into Liverpool, a few days later got called into the Ops managers office where he informed me someone had complained about low flying, this guy had gone to town quoting rule and copy & pastes from the ANO, with the usual 'dangerous' 'lives at risk' b0llocks... air traffic did there bit and I was 575' agl..I was asked if I'd like to respond to the complainer which I did thanking him for pointing out I could go 75' lower next time
