I was having doubts about one of mine which I thought was goat willow but had large buds compared with others, they seem to vary, 'google' goat willow and it comes up with LOTS of images.

thats a possibility, thankyou! although the Wildlife Trust says it has hairy leaves and this didn't but there does seem to be alot of variation in the google images.

Willow does hybridise very readily so there is a lot of variation - difficult to accurately depict one species

I was looking at it today and it does look more like a willow now that the leaves have gone. I didn't know they could hybridise-will let you know in the spring :)
