>I remember that one. Wasn't total but got, as with you, pretty dark. Oddly I noticed the opposite effect - most wild life got very quiet. Sort of spooky really....

Not with the "sh*te-hawks" by me - dusk or dawn it's "Come on you squawkers! It's off to the dump to see what we can find! Make as much noise as you can to make sure there's none of us around town that have not heard the call to scavenge!"
