Unidentified Yellow Globe flower

[black]

Any help appreciated in IDing this large headed yellow flower I photographed at Old Moor RSPB last August
Thanks

Looks like the yellow yarrow, Achillea filipendulina, which is a common cottage garden perennial, which I've only seen a few times naturalised in UK.

It's certainly a common wild plant in Kazakhstan where I've seen masses of it, where they have very cold winters, but hot dry summers.

I agree Achillea filipendulina

You should be able to purchase it at any decent garden centre + as implied from its origin it's as tough as old boots but isn't invasive.
