Fritillary and the bee!

honey bee ~ apis melifera

snakeshead fritillary ~ fritillaria meleagris (double blooms are considered to be rare)

 

Sometimes called the 'Checkered Lily', 'Chequered Daffodil', 'Lazarus Bell' and 'Leper Lily'.

 

Oxfordshire's county flower is the Snake's-head Fritillary. Ref: Wiki

 

Hardly any wildlife about for me to take a photo of so I decided I would look for insects. The butterflies had disappeared as soon the wind became stronger and more blustery but this bee was active in a sheltered corner.
