Cannock Chase

Hotest day of the year!! Officially, as we must have been told a good six times by the radio presenter, and that was just in the time it took us to get to Cannock Chase, went back primarily to get another shot of the Green Hairstreak and was lucky enough to find a Small Copper as well.
They do say that patience is a vertue and it really is, we spotted this pair of Redstart on the way back to the car, it took a good three hours to track their movements and to wait for them to come exactly were we wanted them!! I think you will agree it was well worth the wait!!
