Originally posted by PonderableI may have seen that one in the Eastern US as a partial eclipse and it was eerie, different color in the sky even though the sun had not gone totally dark.
No.
I witnessed a full eclipse in Germany August 11th 1999 around noon. There is still a lot of light at this time of day. But it is an eerie atmosphere
What struck me was the crescent shaped shadows of all the leaves in the trees hitting the ground.
Not even full eclipse but still eerie.

Originally posted by wolfgang59I think you could be right, I've noticed something similar in Ireland to the rest of the places I've lived or traveled. Could be a type of bird that is particularly noisy in the UK and Ireland that aren't so prominent in the rest of the world. Sparrows maybe.

Birds cheep.
Surrounded by birds here but don't seem to get a dawn chorus .... I wonder
if NZ birds are quieter in the mornings or is it just my imagination? I think
North London was noisier!
