Found these two on my usual walk and been watching them grow for some time but as it's taking so long I thought I would ask for help identifying them?
The first one I presume is possibly hogweed but the second I cannot seem to identify but assume it's an unbellifer?

Actually there is a third young plant which maybe a highclere holly possibly hodgkins? the new leaves are a soft pale green but underneath the older leaves are a dark green and more solid like a holly with the forward pointing spines.

So for my local woods my count is almost 70 varieties of trees and plants.

Actually there is a forth plant I am stumped on currently, I thought it may be a willowherb but the leaves are smooth and more points along the edge.

Edit think this may be the broad leaf willowherb

I now have discovered two more trees/shrubs with blossom I cannot identify, any help with this and the above images greatly appreciated

Second blossom, the leaf of this small shrub is similar to a young blackthorn but softer in appearance.

First one looks like Hogweed yeah. If it is then it should be growing abundantly. Where i live it's flowering just now. For the second one you would need to take close ups of the stem and ideally pics after it has grown more for anyone to confidently ID it.

yes to dogwood and privet - good images of the leaves would help
yes to willowherb - not sure which, spear leaved perhaps
yes to hogweed, second is a hedge parsley or cow parsley but again need better images and the umbel to ID with confidence
