Eclipse 09:25 to 09:40










The Sun and Moon as seen from Cromwell Bottom Reserve.



 Before and after maximum. Luckily there was a strong cloud haze so pictures were easy.
The maximum unfortunately, was hidden behind cloud.

 Also nearby, this colourful bracket fungus. A few Chiffchaffs around now. Little grebes noisy on the lagoon.

    Liked your photos, and i wonder was there any noticeable effect on bird behaviour during the eclipse?

    Hi Birdbox

    There was a small drop in birdsong. The light level was like early twilight. The temperature dropped noticeably though.

    The bracket is Blushing Bracket, very common on Salix.
