Zora silvestris
This is a rare spider (RDB2) which is found only at a few sites in the south and south-east of the UK. At Sherwood Forest CP, we have found it to be quite common on fence posts in an open area of grassy heathland. This is a fast moving species when warmed up and difficult to catch. Photographed in April 2010 and May 2011 (above).
