We had a pretty decent solar eclipse here in summer 1999. I didn't get 100% where I live but probably about 80-90. I can't clearly remember now.
Anyway I went out with my dog Toby to watch it. It happened sometime in the morning. We stayed out on the hill in all the fields there and watched the whole thing. At times the sky got a bit overcast so it wasn't always a clear view.
Well, Toby didn't react at all. And he was a great one for finding interesting things in the sky! He would chase hot air balloons, Tornado jets, the Moon, etc
It just looked like one of those deeply thundery stormy days when the light becomes almost like twilight. Only it was a little stronger than that. I think because Toby was used to going out in horrible weather anyway he thought nothing of it. Perhaps he just thought it was one of those dark days. He didn't behave in any different way.
I didn't notice the cows were bothered either. I'm not sure about the birds though. It's likely they might have thought it was time to roost. But I didn't notice any sudden silence. (They are used to abysmal weather too!)
