I think this is a goat willow (salix caprea) but I am not sure. I did not plant it. Any ideas please?

    Agree Salix.
    However not salix caprea...common name the goat willow
    Maybe Salix cinerea ...common name grey willow,as it has the persistent stipules as shown in your pics.

    Thank you very much @Silver surfer for replying  - especially as I cannot achieve the clarity I would prefer in my pictures. Yes, it has the grey bark too. I am happy to have this  tree (male form) and more so on learning if its value to wildlife.
