Depending on how steady your hands are, you could try what I did - cut 2 pieces of post office cardboard tube about 120-150mm long, and tape them to the front of your binocs. I gave mine a quick spray with matt black quick dry paint to reduce scattering. With the tubes attached, you can get closer to the Sun without brilliant internal scattering. A bit more dangerous than having the Sun hidden by eaves, however.
