Photoelectric flare monitoring has revealed seventeen U-filter flares on V780 Tau. The flares occurred with a time spacing between 2 and 36 min (average of 14 min). Analysis of the cumulative energy distribution of the flares concludes that 47 percent of the U-filter radiation from the star is generated by flare activity. This puts V780 Tau among the most active flare stars in the solar neighborhood. In many respects V780 Tau resembles the prototype flare star system UV Cet. The majority of the flares are low energy small amplitude events that occur frequently. The data have been used to test the reservoir hypothesis for stellar flares, but no support has been found for expected correlations between interflare spacings and the quantities of the preceding of the next flares.
