Photographers across the West Midlands were busy on Saturday morning as they captured the partial solar eclipse.
It was visible across the UK and much of the northern hemisphere as the Moon passed partly in front of the Sun.
Although cloud cover affected some people's view, others watched as it seemed to take a nibble out of the Sun.
In the UK, at its peak, the Moon covered about 30-50% of the star.

Although the eclipse was not total anywhere in the world, some parts of Canada saw up to 92% of the Sun covered.
Looking at the Sun directly can severely damage your eyes, so people were advised to use special eclipse glasses or view through a strong filter on a camera.
The partial eclipse started at 10:07 GMT in the UK and ended at midday.
