Hi Shaun,
There's a good list with pics on this website, also the Tlady has very good list.

I think the easiest to identify are dandies, clover, milk and sow thistle, plantain and dead nettles (the ones with the flowers, they won't sting you when you pick them)

www.thetortoisehouse.com www.tortoises.net are both great sites for plant info and tortoise husbandry. This site also has a plant section with lots of pictures and info too.
Weeds are the way to go, dandelion, sowthistle, plantains, bittercress just to name a few.
