I don't see many leaves.
Maybe a hawthorn?:huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:0 -
Would normally think rowan/mountain ash but berries have fallen by now. Can you do a close up of a branch?Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed.
If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'

I was thinking this too as the shape of the branches etc suggests it, and hence my question about thorns? Really doesn't look like a rowan in terms of shape0 -
It appears to be twice the height of the house behind it which is much too tall for a hawthorn or rowan. My best bet is that it is a female Igiri tree. From the various photographs and descriptions of this tree online it seems to fit the bill.0

We have a hawthorn behind our garage which is reaching up above its roof. They can get quite large0 -

A Cotoneaster, maybe?
Maybe you could get the bird who lives in the nest to Tweet something about it...? 0 -
arbrighton. Your garage will be at most 12 foot high. The tree in the photograph provided is around 30 foot tall. I doubt very much that is a hawthorn.0

The leaves are wrong for a hawthorn. Clicking on the picture and zooming in reveals a few leaves on it, and they are the wrong shape.If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.0
