I love looking for the new wildflowers that come up in succession after snowdrops.
Winter aconite is a bright cheery yellow ahead of the narcissi/daffodils that are now just shoots. Their leaves are like Elizabethan ruffs. Spotted on February 3rd, these are still filling out:
I noted crocuses on the first of February. More have appeared across the grass, and open their flowers for a few hours when there's enough sun. On a morning of thin sunshine, a bumblebee on Feb 11th found their petals closed.
