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.

It is a flowering currant, we have one growing on the roadside outside
our entrance. They do produce berries but I have never been tempted to
try one.
