Partial Solar Eclipse

In addition to the moths, we also were able to witness a partial solar eclipse this morning at 7:55AM. The day started out cloudy, and we noticed that we hadn't heard the usual chirping of the birds early in the morning. Could it be because of the eclipse? Shahril and Teresa went down to the beach and tried an indirect method of viewing the eclipse by pointing a binoculars towards the sun, and aiming the captured light onto a piece of white paper. We observed the eclipse this way.

As an aside, the birds eventually came out, and we heard/saw two hornbills up on the coconut tree!

Unidentified Flying Objects

It has been a very interesting last couple of days. We have had several moth-like visitors come to the house, fly about the kitchen and the patio, and then leave. Shahril got one of them to land on his rambutan.
