 An early bee on the Snowdrops coming into flower in the garden. They are the first species to flower en masse as late winter gives way to early spring. Even in the first week of February bees come out in search of food if the day is sunny.
 A previous occupant of the house must have planted some Snowdrops and they have taken to the far end of the garden, spreading freely over time. I've helped them on their way by dividing off small clumps after flowering and planting them round and about.
