Cheers Guys

These are absolutely everywhere. The top leaf is the largest, and they get progressively smaller as you go down the stem. The leaves are in opposite pairs. The leaf in the sun shows the details the best.

Well I'm 99% certain that no.1 is a wild geranium (cranesbill), no.2 could be in the parsley family? Did it have hollow stems? I think it may be water hemlock (poisonous) or fool's parsley (both umbellifers).
No3. is, I believe in the Ranunculus family (which includes buttercups and celandine) but I can't remember what it is called!! :rolleyes: No.4 is obviously a succulent, but I have no idea what it is!! It is probably a sedum of some sort tho'

hope i've been helpful :)

No 1 is a crane's-bill, most likely Dove's-foot Crane's-bill (Geranium molle)
No 2 is an umbellifer, very difficult to ID just from leaves but probably Cow Parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris)
No 3 is Water Avens (Geum rivale)
No 4 is Opposite Leaved Golden Saxifrage (Chrysosplenium oppositifolium)
