Weed?

Hi all, I'm in the middle of clearing out the last of the white clover and this has been growing in the middle. The bees are liking it so will leave it where it is but wondered what it is. Thanks in advance.

    looks like Bird's Foot Trefoil. weed is a personal decision. If I like it, it stays, if I don't, it goes

    Thanks @Papi Jo
    I wish I could @madpenguin but it's all brown and crispy now. It's been lovely watching the bees enjoying it.

    There are a few weeds that are still green. Dandelions and similar are just basking in the sun.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    there is nothing green on my 'lawn' for the first time ever. Brown clover and Self-heal, usually a lovely flowering lawn

    I have been pretty lucky really compared to most. I'm in the North West.  We have had a couple of good downpours recently but still not enough to recover everything from the dry spell before then. I've not cut my grass for ages and I'm constantly running up and down with a 7L watering can and following advice on here. It's my first year into gardening too 😫
