I'm sure used to call this flower lady's fingers when I was little as some varieties used to come with a red tip, like painted finger-nails. However, according to the wild flower book it's called bird's-foot trefoil, sometimes called lady's slipper.
@rosiekind We call it 'eggs and bacon' too, the only reason I can think of is that the colours, yellow and a bit of reddy brown, are the colours of egg and bacon (sort of). I also know it as bird's foot trefoil.
