Found a Bluebottle wandering around the garden path yesterday, picked him up and put him on the wall quite happily

I presume it's still winter!?! Been very mild here again with sun out for a while, I saw my first Bombus terrestris of the year.

Today found baby red lilly beetle on dock leaves. And a massive Blue bottle sunning itself on the fence.
Yesterday had plume moths and a small yellow tail bumble bee.
Not a great deal but its there.
Birds are all getting very friskey now,

On Thursday plenty of 7-spot Ladybirds around in the local woodland and a Devil's Coach Horse under a felt map.

I've seen a few water beetle and pond snail species.
As well as 4 or 5 small cranefly species.

I've been checking over a small box bush at the end of the road and am starting to find quite a few insects. A 10-spot ladybird yesterday, and these two today:
An unid'ed picture-winged fly. 
A micromoth caterpillar, best guess is Red-barred Tortrix.  | | | |
