Partial Solar Eclipse - Wednesday 12 August

According to Royal Museums Greenwich, This will be the most 'coverage' seen from the UK and Ireland since the 1999 solar eclipse,

The Royal Observatory Greenwich will be live-streaming this event, "we will be live streaming the eclipse using one of our modern telescopes, giving you a chance to watch this big event safely. Coverage will start live on YouTube and Facebook from 6.10pm."

Do you have any interesting memories of the 1999 eclipse? I can remember that the birds (where we were living at that time) were suddenly silenced.

What will happen tin 2026 in Stratford sub Castle? Normally at dusk the rooks make a very noisy retreat from the fields around Old Sarum to roost in the trees alongside the river near Mill Lane. Will they be confused by the eclipse?
