CANNOCK CHASE-STAFFORDSHIRE

This morning, I stopped by Cannock Chase on my way to work in Birmingham and enjoyed an excellent few hours there.

Cuckoos were singing as soon as I arrived on site, and the one below was one of two easily visible.

A good number of Tree pipits were observed, and seven individual birds were seen.
