      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

                • 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

                              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:
