The temperature dropped overnight but morning was rushed anyway. At lunchtime there was a heavy overcast like a rumpled blanket and beneath it a chilly breeze. It gradually cleared during the afternoon. A red bellied woodpecker disputed possession of the suet with a starling. That particular male woodpecker had a very red belly.
A yellow rumped warbler also craved suet. A bluebird decided to get his off the steps. The starling should have tried that because it had trouble reaching the remains of the suet in the cage. But it also had trouble getting a drink from the pool cover puddle. Despite the chill, I saw three skinks. Yesterday when it was warm, not a one. The wild cherry was definitely blooming but I couldn't identify the pollinators - maybe flies.
