Anthocoris nemoralis (Fabricius, 1794)
Bugs belonging to the family Anthocoridae are very difficult to identify and not really possible from photographs. Anthocoris nemoralis is a wide ranging species, usually found on a range of trees rather than low growing plants. A common species, that is found throughout much of Nottinghamshire, but seemingly less common than A. nemorum.
