Taken at the weekend, only one I recognised was Silver weed, I'd be interested if anyone can identify them;

The second plant looks like a red goosefoot to me, maybe an Orach hybrid?

If this is connected to the red stems then i don't think this is silverweed (does look like it though so I guess the red stems are from something else......)

The red stems are the above ground "creepers" of the Silverweed ...

I thought it looked a bit more like - golden samphire - http://www.botanicalkeys.co.uk/flora/content/species.asp?653 but it's a tough call so you may well be right!

That is a very good site, bookmarked, nice one Andy.

What do you think of this for the 4th plant http://www.botanicalkeys.co.uk/flora/content/species.asp?219

Agreed, the only thing that made me think it was the Mayweed is I know that grows in the general area and the flowers look like they're going to be white petalled when they're fully out.

I think that may be a good call ... especially if you look at the distribution map ...

Sorry, just posted something which, on closer inspection, I realise was wrong!
