Looks like a Rowan/ Mountain Ash at first glance.
Will go have a look in my book.

Def looks like Rowan as already said. It looks stunning when that blossom turns to orange berries, which do have a culinary use. The tree in front of my home is too tall for me to pick them and have a go.

June that is very interesting, what can you do with the berries ?

Rowan jelly And wine too.

I vaguely remember that the wine recipe I used insisted on pouring boiling water over the berries and then leaving to cool before adding the yeast. I thought it looked a bit insipid so decided to boil them instead which was a mistake - it started to make the juice taste very bitter (imagine the taste of paracetamol on your tongue) but the colour was amazing LOL. If I recall the finished wine tasted fine afterwards.
