No cuckoos yet as far as I know (not here in eastern Northumberland anyway) and it's only the past couple of days that we've had a significant amount of Swallows arriving.
My camera is nowt special - just a basic digital which I point and click It's a Canon PowerShot A3500 AS which I bought last year for around £45
Everything is always too far away, otherwise dog chases it
Two bee flies on the allotment yesterday and THIS little beauty Took a few snaps whilst she sunbathed on a paving slab and googled her once home. I think she's a Tawny Mining Bee and is one of the species of bee that bee flies parasitise

The little black dot in left corner of field.
No photo yet but happy to say the grass hopper warblers are back, they are secretive little birds with a song that sounds like a bicycle wheel whizzing round

Never be afraid to try something new.
Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.
A large group of professionals built the Titanic
Ive never heard of one. I've just played sound and sounds like something we hear but don't see, cricket /snake sound In of Couple of forest walks.
Thanks for that , I need to take binoculars see if can see one.
The swallows have come back again this year and have started to build. This pair need a short course in construction! We have loads of beams in the old cow shed but they have chosen to build on the paper lining of the insulation. Quick repair job required with the aid of an old feed sack before it fell down. Hope it won't put them off.
Note to us, must get some sort of ceiling fitted.
Now they have come out upside down. Please could some kind Mod flip them for me, thanks.
I saw a speckled wood butterfly today, first I have seen this year. He wouldn't sit with his wings open but I got this pic with my phone that shows how well camouflaged he is with his wings closed:
