Which stork's-bill?

This stork's-bill was found this morning, growing out of a crack at the edge of a pavement by Yatton Railway Station in North Somerset. I know what I think it is, but I'd welcome opinions from other quarters

They're not exactly award-winning pictures because I haven't edited them yet and it was, to put it mildly, rather windy here today

It is Musk Stork's-bill (Erodium moschatum)

That's what I had, too - hooray

Thanks, Tiggrx

The reason I had doubts was that it just seemed such an odd habitat, and there are quite a few alien Erodiums listed in Alien Plants of the British Isles - I guess this one must have been a wool-alien, too
