Hi there,
I have a Japanese knotweed problem in my area, but am alarmed to see a
huge number of seedlings popping up in the garden. I'm not sure they are
Japanese Knotweed though, in fact I'm leaning towards thinking theyre
not from google searches - can anyone confirm either way?
Here are some of seedlings, one has its first set of proper leaves.
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, I also have them right now and loads of the little blighters are
popping up. They are sycamore seedlings.

As above, these do seem to be Sycamore.
If you are worried about Knotweed, it grows from the rhizome rather than
seedling so if you had a patch very nearby and it was growing then you
could be sure this was the problem. Thankfully in your case it's not so!
