Good morning samuri, 

it looks a lot like Deadly Nightshade to me, but others more knowledgeable might argue.

Cheers,  Tony.

Having just looked at images of DN I don''t think it is as the leaves are not serrated, but the flowers look like some plant from the Solanaceae family which includes potatoes, tomatoes and aubergines. I have something that is like a climber in my hedge with a similar flower that I thought was DN but that isn't either so I don't know what it is now.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Does it have black berries? I was told the berries are poisonous. Not sure what the real name of the plant is, we always called it Deadly Nightshade. It probably got called that as its a member of the nightshade (solanaceae) family and its poisonous. I seem to remember my yard was full of the stuff when I first moved it. I just kept digging it out. I haven't seen any for years now.

No idea what it is but we get identical plants every year under the trees where wife hangs bird-feeders full of mixed seed
