Found a few of these growing in my garden today in Wolverhampton. I have tentatively identified it as Sheep's Sorrel (Rumex acetosella). Can anybody confirm if I am correct in this? :)

Thanks for the replies! I had come round myself to thinking it was Common Sorrel after doing more research. When I get a chance I will try and photograph the leaves etc. :)
 
Hi,
I don't think that this is a sorrel, the seeds seem to be spherical, Rumex sp. seeds are flat discs, my guess would be something from a wild bird/ game cover type mixture for conservation planting, its certainly not a native. Might there be any birdfeeders with seed close by?
Good luck!
Jim.
