In this picture you can clearly see the cells in the middle of the leaf are very different from the rest. Rather like a tower block of elongated cells running to halfway up the leaf.

These appear colourless under a hand lens in the field.

I think this is Racomitrun lanuginosum when it is wet. In striking contrast to when dry.

Although both conditions are striking.

Apologies this is the one I thought I was looking at but I seem to have photographed something quite different. And not the best photograph either.

So

Definitely need to go back here with a different lens set up.

This one is more likely a Tritomaria Sp either Cut/Large Cut Notchwort (Tritomaria exsecta/exsectiformis)
