I think this is a columbine??
"It's not a Columbine, there are no spurs, and the leaves are different. Looks a bit like a Snowdrop.... ?"

The bees are busy busy busy, buzzing around visiting each flower in turn, loading their saddlebags with pollen and their tummies with nectar…

House Sparrows
"So sweet! How wonderful to have them near. I had cardnals nest and hatch babies only feet away from my porch, however...The nest was to high for me to see all the early days."
