BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL

Birdsfoot Trefoil grows in groups in grassland and on hedgebanks  and roadsides.

The yellow flowers are often tinged red which gave it the alternative name of Bacon and Eggs.  My mum used to call it Tom Thumb, from the shape of the flower. 

In the photos below you can see the pinkish seed pods spread out like a bird's foot.
