Above are photos of this morning's partial solar eclipse, the first four are still frames from a video taken by Richard Bullock. The slightly purple hue is due to the use of a solar filter.
Richard filmed this on the Carnival Field in Wilmslow today. In the second photo, which was taken in natural light as the clouds are rolling in, a bird flies right through the solar eclipse, about 15 minutes after maximum eclipse.
Richard has also produced a a 30x time-lapse video of the eclipse, covering the roughly 35 minutes or so either side of maximum eclipse where it wasn't cloudy.
The last photo was kindly sent to us by David Pearce.
