In this weather heating up season, looks to me the drying out foliage colour of Lythrum salicaria – familiar to me,
– i think and the foliage form, the habitat and the habit, look a match .
– Please check this identification .
– Then with you ID check result feedback i may confirm this ID .

Ooh oops sorry, my apology for this. Busy, I, obviously, didn't read the date – a really old sighting and not this season .
Not so hot April . End of the summer growing season – turned red .

No worries. I’m uploading some old photos and people often miss that ..you’re not the only one. Quite a few people will be uploading ‘historical’ photos now with the new bulk upload facility, but I’m doing it one by one..so keep an eye out
