Can anyone point me in the right direction with this spider please?

It was taken last June on the moorland fringe.

Looks like Linyphia species?

Looks similar to L. triangularis but June would be a bit early for this species!

Thanks Shane. Yes, and it was early in the month as well (3rd). Also, fwiw (very little, probably), I've never noticed any horizontal sheet webs there.

It's a Tetragnatha species. Maybe a very gravid extensa?

Well, Tetragnatha is right but I'm far from sure about extensa. T. pinicola looks very similar.

Yes, point taken - I'll leave it as a Tetragnatha.

Thanks again.
