A couple of Osmia cornuta Bees

Whilst walking Home we spotted a Bee resting on a Grape Hyacinth in a Front Garden (TQ477771): it subsequently turned out there were two of them and that they are Osmia cornuta Bees viz.



Apparently, unusual. The sighting has been submitted to iRecord.
 
The male has white whiskers: clearly visible here.

We also saw one during March-2022: fairly close to where we saw these two.
