Saw many of these during my holidays in England last August. This picture was taken in Brandon Marsh but saw them in many different locations, always near wetlands. I would be so grateful to get any help to ID it! Thanks in advance!

It might be red campion, Silene dioica but it's hard to tell from that close up - do you have any wider shots of the whole plant?

Thanks, Mike and Phil!! :t: I have a wider shot getting more of the plant. Not very good but hope it is of any help.

Yes, it is as Phil says, definitely a Great willowherb Epilobium hirsutum also known as Hierba de San Antonio.
