Help identifying a shrub and a small tree please
Hello there,
Just moved to a new house and tackling the overgrown gardens as a novice gardener.
In the front garden I have two plants I can't identify.
The first is a shrub (pics 1 & 2) around 4 feet high.
The second appears to be a small tree - established but only 5 - 6 feet high (pics 3 & 4).
Would really appreciate help with identifying them.
Many thanks in advance!

Number one looks like a philadelphus, white flowers, highlyscented
Number 2 is a cotoneaster. If it's like a small tree it's likely to be Cotoneaster rigida or 'Cornubia'. or C. lacteus. Lovely red berries and the bees like the flowers
In the sticks near Peterborough
Thanks so much - that's very helpful
