Hi Alan they are near some pine trees as you can see from the pic, would the needles be doing them harm? They do get dappled sunlight, I keep them watered. I can't think what could be up with them.

There isn't necessarily anything wrong but they don't look in prime condition.  Snowdrops and pine trees do not naturally associate but I would not have thought a few pine needles would do any harm.  Some of my snowdrops got a bit battered by the strong winds in January and February but should recover next year.  I suggest you re-pot yours in fresh compost when they go dormant and take the opportunity to inspect the bulbs, isolating any unhealthy ones.
