Is this Charlock?

Definitely not Charlock!

Cheers,

You were all correct! Took a closer look today and took this image. They look identical except the colour. They both have clasping leaves. The deeper yellow is the same colour as rape in adjoining fields. The lighter yellow flower is confined to the untended area and is, I hope you would agree, very noticable.

Thanks for taking the trouble to take a picture of them both together. It's always nice to have a mystery wrapped up neatly

I agree that the plant that took your eye is a very pale yellow as far as Rape goes...I wonder why it should be so very different when growing so close to the normal shade of Rape?

Still, I expect someone on here knows! Watch this space

Dutchess. have a look at my thead '2 blue flowers in overgrown plot - ID please' . Still don't know who farms/owns the plot but it's thrown up another puzzle it seems.

Kayleigh, the brown object is our terrier Tyke who keeps me company on most walks around the area.

Thanks for continuing interest.

Thanks for clearing that up. My eyesight isn't what it used to be
