Reed Warbler
Mountain Hare
Gentiana verna
?

2 : Acrocephalus scirpaeus - Reed warbler (might be Geat reed warbler but seems very rare in UK)
4 : Lepus timidus - Mountain hare
5 : Gentiana verna - Spring gentian (a difficult group but it seems that only this species is in UK)

Edit : Steve has been quicker but my reply was ready, so I post it

Steve and Yvain are both right. Just reed warbler not the rarer one. See if I can catch you out with these.

It's been too long since I posted here, but I thought the following pictures might be of interest - taken last week at our local nature reserve during the cold spell of weather when everything froze over. Three hours sitting in the hide (yes, I am retired!) produced some memorable views of bittern and fox (which seems to be squinting in the stong light)
Apologies for the picture quality - had to use my bridge camera at full reach as they were on the far side of the largish pond.

Good pictures Peter. I,ve heard bittern on my local patch but never seen it.

[Steve Garvie]

Nice images Peter!
Always a spectacular bird to see.

I wonder if anyone has offers of the IDs  on reply 1187?

[Chris Johnson]

Missed these, Ian.
#2 could be a Ruff
#4 Amanita fulva - Tawny Grisette

[ian mcdonald]

Hello Chris, sorry, not a ruff.

[Karaba]

My proposition
1 : Origanum vulgare - Wild Marjoram
2 : Tringa ochropus - Green Sandpiper
3 : Cirsium heterophyllum - Melancholy Thistle
4 : a mushroom 
5 : Asplenium adiantum-nigrum - Black Spleenwort

[ian mcdonald]

Hello Yvain, 1, 3 and 5 are right.

[Karaba]

If it's not the green one, maybe the common one ? Actitis hypoleucos - Common Sandpiper
I'm used to identify them when moving, it's easier to see the behaviour and if it has long/short leg...

[ian mcdonald]

Chris, thanks for the Amanita,  I thought you would know it.
Yvain, sorry, not common sandpiper.

I'm wondering if #2 might be a juvenile Dunlin (Calidris alpina)

[Karaba]

Difficult, I can't see the color of the leg and length of the beak. It has the shape of Tringa totanus - Common Redshank but the legs don't seem to be red. I also think to Tringa glareola - Wood Sandpiper but it seems too unicolored/unspotted and too compact. It doesn't remind me any Calidris or any other Tringa.
