Possibly an Andrena scotica female in my friends garden?
Doesn't appear to have the orange hairs of Andrena nigroaenea on the hind legs/pollen brush?
Video not ideal for ID

Andrena praecox female emerging from underground nest in my parents garden today. #smallsallowbee
Lots of other tiny early species about as well and I've spotted some Nomad cuckoo bees too. But phone is not much good at capturing these guys identifying features well enough.
