Bombus pratorum (methinks)

Today I struggle to work in the snow, for the first time nearly failing to escape the dale - all a bit hairy really, and more snow to come. Saturday we spent all day outside, Louise reported seeing a butterfly in the garden (probably Small Tortoiseshell) and there was a bumblebee feeding in the snowdrops. Skylark were singing on the moor, Red Grouse were all territorial.
