These are now flowering, not sure the yellow one is a native, it was growing in the woodland area of the university, near snowdrops.

Hi.
The yellow one looks like Eranthis hyemalis, the Winter Aconite.

1 - winter aconite - no they aren't native but have become widely naturalised, the wild ones tend to be slightly smaller in all aspects I've found.

Evening A,
The second is a Chickweed.
Take care, Jason  |

Think the Aconite is Eranthis cilicica rather than E. hyemalis |

I'm not questioning you, just hoping to learn something useful - because E.cilicica is one of the plants I'd hoped to find this spring season, but I don't honestly know exactly what I'm looking for 
This is a photo from Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, in February, of what I'd put down as E. hyemalis, and I can't see any great difference from what's posted here?  |

In E. cilicica they are narrower than in E. hyemalis. I think your plant from Frenchay Hospital has fairly wide bracts and looks good for E. hyemalis to me. | | |
