Chasewater return

Just a few things I saw on the way to Chasewater and back this morning.

Flag iris on the cut

Bramble blossom by the basin

Bird’s Foot Trefoil where Cannock Chase Colliery No 1, “The Marquis” was. This is where some spoil from the M6-Toll was tipped. A post-industrial landscape you can enjoy.

Eagle-eyed locals may just pick out the top of the old valve gear building on Chasewater dam.

In among the trefoil and rabit-graze grasses were several bee orchids.
