Hi thanks for your help so far.
This next one should be quite easy for you. I don't think it is native
and you probably grow these in your gardens.
There are several of these shrubs, well spaced but quite close to a row
of houses, whose gardens back onto the wood.
Can anyone tell me what it is?

Looks like Ribes sanguineum - aka flowering currant, though it's not a
fruit! It seems to vary quite a bit in colour in the wild and is originally
a native of USA.
