Well its not wildlife and not macro...
Yesterday evening around sunset a layer of thin cloud filtered the sun. I took a number of images and was surprised to find that I had picked up a number of sunspots. They are not sensor dust as I intially suspected - their position on the disc is constant between frames when the disc itsself is in a different position. They also correspond with images posted on the NASA site for yesterday.

Great picture! Did you take special measures for this sun capture, like filters?

On this occasion as there was so much cloud and the sun was very low in the sky I didn't need them. In brighter conditions I would have used a dark ND filter if I had tried at all.
