I have finally managed to take photos today. The sun eventually shone during late afternoon and the wildlife responded.
While weeding I noticed a Common Carder Bee (Bombus pascuorum) busily flying around, visiting the Pulmonaria (Common Lungwort) flowers that were blooming.
This plant is loved by early spring foraging bees and therefore a great plant to have in the garden.
The Common Carder bee is one of the 7 most common species of Bumblebee in the UK and one of the first bees to see emerge in Spring.
I also saw my first Coccinella septempunctata (seven-spot ladybird) of the year, sitting on a geranium leaf.
In the morning I had also noticed a group of Adalia bipunctata) 2 spot ladybirds huddled together on a Stinking Hellebore (Helleborus foetidus) plant.
