Initially I was leaning towards Annual Wall Rocket, but the single leaf, and a couple of the rosette leaves appear to have a slightly hairy appearance, so I'm going to stick my neck out and have a stab at Cat's Ear.

 It probably isn't Cat's Ear then - just that I can't suggest any other suitable candidates from what I can get from the pics. (As you probably know, I'm not an expert botanist).

this is a guess , but, it looks like poppy to me and I know it's winter, but some do survive the winter probably wrong but thats my guess

Not certain if a definitive ID will be obtained - It's Leifus's fault - he should have photographed it when it was flowering!!
