Purple/blue flower with...
... and without honeybee
Found this dead bumblebee by the wisteria (overdose?), then a helpful page on the Natural History Museum website to identify it as a female Buff-tailed Bumblebee

Brimstone (mostly busy flying up and down at speed)
Watching ladybirds climbing up and down leaves is always amusing

Sleeping beauties and other things
When I got to work this morning, it was beautifully sunny. Cold, but sunny, so I went for a quick walk around the garden. I found these wasps clinging to the ivy flowers for dear life. They were almost completely still, except for a few wiggling antennae and twitching thoraces.
I went back at lunchtime and found lots more wasps, looking much more lively, feeding on the ivy nectar. At this time of year, it must be a lifeline for them.
Vine leaves on the turn
Common Darters are still around in good numbers. Every day, I think 'they'll all be gone tomorrow', but it hasn't happened yet.
Red Admirals are probably the most numerous butterflies
Several Commas seen today, too.
