ok I'm properly rusty at this but my guesses:

Creeping Cinquefoil Potentilla reptans

A violet Viola sp.

pass

a bittercress - possibly hairy closer pictures of the flowers would help.


possibly shepherd's purse?

1. Creeping Cinquefoil - Potentilla reptans.
2. Common Dog Violet - Viola riviniana.
3. Shepherd's Purse - Capsella bursa-pastoris.
4. Hairy Bittercress - Cardamine hirsuta.
5. Wavy Bittercress - Cardamine flexuosa.

There's certainly no short cut to learning plants in my experience you just have to do it again and again I've had a couple of years off now and hence rusty...

I'm afraid you're right Gill. 'again and again' really is the only way; though I promise you, it does get easier.

3. With 'small yellow/cream flowers' might this be a Wall-rocket, Diplotaxis sp.?

Hi Jenny.
3. Diplotaxis muralis - Anuual Wall-rocket or Stinkweed as it's sometimes called.
and 5. Shepherd's Purse.
Yes, I'll go along with those. (a closer look makes all the difference).
