Hey everyone! I'm curious about a wildflower I've been seeing a lot of lately while driving around the east of England. It's a tall bush, probably a few feet high, and it's covered in small yellow flowers. It's popping up everywhere, almost as much as cow parsley right now. Does anyone have any idea what it might be based on such a vague description? Thanks a bunch!

You might want to check out an app called PlantNet. It's pretty popular for identifying plants just by taking a photo. It’s free and very user-friendly, so it could help you out!
Have you thought about 'ragwort'? It could match what you're describing, especially if you've been seeing a lot of it around. It’s quite common in those areas.
Another possibility is volunteer rapeseed. It's known to spread easily into hedges and verges, so it fits your description pretty well. If you can, try posting a picture somewhere; that might help narrow it down even more!
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll look into that and maybe share a pic for better ID.
