Now there's a thing. I thought a bluebell was a bluebell etc but on my walk, while looking at these a lady asked "are they English or European "?
Something rang a bell (no pun intended) so checked via my phone app.
See if you can tell.....answer is below.


They are apparently Spanish Bluebells.

Walking through the woodland there was a Chiffchaff.
