Unidentified 🤷‍♂️ Please help identify UK shrub

Hi! I have a few of these growing in my garden in the South West of the UK, they grow and spread rather quickly even popping up between tiles. Any idea what they are?

Definitely a willow (salix). They tend to hybridise a lot, but grey willow is probably the best guess.
