I think it looks like some kind of cherry tree. Leaves are too pointy for
witch hazel, I believe.

Guessing a flowering cherry or plum species. You might look up Prunus
serrulata a type of flowering cherry..there are several varieties that
have slightly different flower looks.

It is said that the early bird gets the worm,
but it is the second mouse that gets the cheese.

Those blossoms look like witch hazel to me also. I also seem to remember
reading about a pink or red witch hazel somewhere, only it's not actually a
Hamamelis, the flower just very much resembles this. Don't have time to
power Google now, maybe later if somebody doesn't give it a shot first.

Serrulata was one of my earlier guesses, but the leaves and petal
structure seem quite different to any images I've been able to find to
compare it with. I'll try to post some pics of those leaves that
haven't been entirely devoured.

That is definitely not a Hamamelis, it's some form of a cherry. The
leaves are totally wrong, and the color is off for 'Diane'.

Try "Prunus persica" in Google, rather than "Prunus persia"

Sorry for confusion. I was trying to answer Val not Declan.
