Leucojum aestivum
It is interesting that the alternate common name for this European-wide (and beyond) flower is Loddon Lily as the River Loddon flows nearby, the whole area being known as the Loddon Valley.
Mixed woodland adjacent to lake next to the River Loddon.

No worries...It was not a problem, It 's always my pleasure to help you to find ID for your spotting...btw. I learnt a lot about birds throughout your bird's photo :)
Hi again Jopy, sorry for the confusion. I added a close-up of the flowers, cropped from the same photo and adjusted the lighting so that the green/yellow spots are more visible. I have edited both spottings. I was confusing both plants with snowdrops which should have been long gone by April. I think all is OK now.
L. aestivum has on margine of white petals greenish spots...
No, no, on this picture is Leucojum aestivum, I'm sure!...I thought that you uploaded wrong picture!
