Honey Bee
Warm days in mid-February like today have often give me my first butterflies for previous years, so I had a good look around the local area for them earlier. Unfortunately I had no luck, not even a passing Brimstone but there were plenty of other insects around, including Honey Bees and Bumblebees around one of the goat willows. Spent quite a while taking shots of them feeding on the buds, occasionally catching them hovering like this one.
