Looks like a willow to me! I have no clue about types, and definitely about types in Europe.

Whenever the catkins were on it, we called it Pussy Willow!

Hello Susan. Toffeeapple has suggested the tree next to it might be a hazel - which would be interesting - so I will need to go back and see when the leaves come out. I'll check up on this one at the same time. Indeed, since they are on the edge of a wood I should perhaps go back quite soon - while light is still coming through the branches to see what other trees are there too.

Hello Toffeeapple. I'd been thinking 'pussy willow' referred to a more delicate kind of willow. But maybe it's any kind of willow when it looks like this?
