Woah, loads of questions! The leaves were still attached to the tree, so it's not a goat willow. Could well be a pedunculate oak. I'll post more pictures tomorrow...

My guess is a mature birch

That was what I wanted people to guess but it's an oak...

Here's the same tree, a bit further away:

I hope those are proof enough of oaken status!

Yeah just between English and sessile oak for me dude,

the sessil has little or no stalk on the acorn cup

where as the english has stalk(most of the time)

I find It can be easier to use these to narrow it down rather than the leaves as they can look similar in these two,:)
