It’s a hyacinth, probably someone had them indoors and put them in the garden when they were over. They get steadily weaker and the flowers get fewer, still nice for early blooms though, they’ll last until the bluebells come in May.

Thanks. I have definitely not planted any pink hyacinths though nor had any indoors. It's a bit of a mystery. They do somewhat resemble the white ones which are out now, too, a few metres away.
If the ones you planted have been in a few years they may have had pink babies and, being young, their flower stalk will not be as full as a mature hyacinth. They may also have cross pollinated with some nearby Spanish bluebells and that would explain the difference.

Agree Hyacinth.
Hyacinthoides.....Pink bluebell flowers have a stalk and the flowers dangle down.
Hyacinth flowers have barely any stalk.
