2. Not a plant I am familiar with but I think you are right.

3.

4. Maybe Smith's Cress (Lepidium heterophyllum) but best to look at a mature fruit under magnification to be sure.

5. Looks like Shallon (Gaultheria shallon) to me.

5. Common Gorse - dwarf gorse flowers much later in the year

Glad I got some right for a change

I'll try and look into the Yellow Dandelion one.
