ID Tree/Bush please

Pensivepuca

This tree/bush in my garden has been doing my head in for a good few hours, can not see what it is, my books and internet fail me.

The berries are red when ripe and the birds love it, I do not think it is evergreen, but it does stay green far longer than my elderberry tree.

Thanks a million.

Cotoneaster frigidus or C. cornuba

shrubs

Looks like a species of cotoneaster to me, possibly cornubia or similar.
SNOH got there first!

Cotoneaster frigidus 'Cornubia' a fantastic tree for waxwings because most birds don't eat these berries until after Christmas

Goat willow, Salix caprea. Fluffy seeds are dispersed by the wind and it springs up as an early pioneer species.

On Willows in general - sallies and cracked willow especially - I have noticed in the last few weeks their leaves are dying off - blackening and gone crispy - this is through the hedgerow and in the garden - is this just early autumn signs or is their a dieback disease that affects the Willows?

Willows are fast-growing but relatively short-lived trees. The summer did seem autumnal but willows get fungal diseases such as black canker which cause die-back.
