I'll do the easy one (on the right)
Pisaura mirabilis [edit...] male
Nice spider, is a hunter that doesn't make a web, except a sort of webby greenhouse for its young. I usually spot them sunning themselves on nettles, get all sorts of lovely colour variations too.

Afternoon Hed,
Do you have a dorsal for the first? It suggests a Lycosidae, not too sure though without a top-down.
Take care, Jason

Thanks Kev, definitely an attractive one! Welcome to WAB.
Jason, it was too quick for me to get another shot. I must train them to sit still longer!

thanks for the nice welcomes
I came for the pond discussions, but spiders were my childhood favourite, so no surprise that I'm jumping in with "Ooh sir, I know sir..."
Yeah I'm thinking the first one is Lycosidae, one of the Pardosa species, if they're still called that. The diagnostic feature is those weird side eyes..."Posterior row of eyes so strongly recurved that it may be considered to form two rows" | | |
