1 is a hawkbit, possibly Autumn Hawkbit, Leontodon autumnalis. Did you see if hairs on leaves were branched or not?
2 Field Sow-thistle, Sonchus arvensis
3 Agree, Black Medick, Medicago lupulina |

That would fit with Autumn Hawkbit which have simple hairs. Both Lesser + Rough (clearly your flower wasn't this as it's not hispid) Hawkbits have forked hairs.
It has been suggested that Autumn Hawkbit is removed from Leontodon to a new genus Scorzoneroides, but I'm not sure that this has been accepted yet. Alan S when he's back will enlighten here! | | |
