1)Bittersweet - Solanum dulcamara
3)Water Figwort - Scrophularia auriculata
6)Coltsfoot - Tussilago farfara
7)Maybe Wall Speedwell - Veronica arvensis, but not sure
8)Germander Speedwell - Veronica chamaedrys
11)One of the Eyebrights - Euphrasia agg

I agree with most of Audrey's. Hopefully I can fill in the gaps.
1. Bittersweet - Solanum dulcamara
2. Probably Hairy Hawkbit - Leontodon hispidus.
3. Water Figwort - Scrophularia auriculata
4. Charlock - Sinapis arvensis.
5. Probably Goat Willow - Salix caprea.
6. Coltsfoot - Tussilago farfara
7. Common Field Speedwell - Veronica persica.
8. Germander Speedwell - Veronica chamaedrys.
9. Hoary Cress - Lepidium draba.
10. Rosa rugosa. Quite common around Portsmouth and Hayling.
11. Eyebright - Euphrasia nemorosa.

I agree with most of the previous posters but I've got a different opinion of two of the plants.
I think 5. may be Grey Willow (Salix cinerea) rather than Goat Willow because the twig seems to be densely hairy.
I think 10. is Sweet-briar (Rosa rubiginosa) because of the glandular hairs on the leaves.

Thank you for your reply and justification for your opinion on #5 and #10.

Does anyone else have any comments?

Hi Steve114, welcome to WAB and to the Wildflower Forum. Thanks for your input.
Having had a closer look at the Rose, I agree that it is very likely Sweet Briar - Rosa rubiginosa. (often easy to miss relevant points when there is a long list to ID!)

With regards to the Willow, both Salix caprea, (Goat W.) and S.cinerea, (Grey W.), have downy twigs.
S. caprea tends to loose this down after a short while, (except in the nothern ssp. sphacelata, which keeps the down much longer); whereas S. cinerea holds on to the down until the twig matures.
(S. cinerea ssp. cinerea has even downier twig just to makes things even more interesting!). And of course as with all Willows hybrids should be considered .
So as with all attempts at an ID via a photo, it often has to be just be an informed guess.

One good way to tell the difference between these two rather similar species is to remove some bark from a 2 or 3 year-old twig. Grey Willow's twigs are ridged beneath the bark, in Goat Willow the twigs are smooth.
