Speedwell ID Help Please.

[Lancashire Lad]

I'm struggling to ID these two with any certainty (Both found yesterday): -

First found near Malham Cove - open field, limestone soil. Features of flower suggest Grey Field Speedwell, but I can't quite reconcile the compact erect stature of the plant, (which was quite tiny overall).


Second found in a woodland near Whalley (Lancashire).
The leaves look like Common Field Speedwell, but the flowers don't have the much lighter lower lobe that would be expected.


Any ID help appreciated.
Regards
Mike.

I'm sure the second one is wood speedwell, Veronica montana

1) thyme leaved speedwell
2) wood speedwell

Cheers treecreeper & Keenteen.

I agree with your suggestions - I must be going ID crazy and was looking for everything but the obvious.

Regards
Mike.
