I found this plant growing in the top of the drainpipe,  any ideas what it could be?

    It is almost certainly Salix caprea, often known as Goat willow.  Are the leaves slightly felty underneath?  The fluffy seeds blow everywhere in the wind and they don't need much in the way of soil to grow.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thanks Bob, yes they are slightly felt like underneath. I will make sure that part of the drainpipe is covered up in future!
