A bird? A planet?
The big dark spot on the right of the disc is Venus. The smaller, less clear spots in the middle of the disc are sunspots. The black figure just below and slightly left of center is a bird that was flying near the sun from my vantage point.
If you didn't get a chance to see Venus in front of the sun, I hope you enjoy the pictures. Sadly, you most likely won't get another chance, since Venus's next transit isn't due until 2117, over a hundred years away.
