Re: [ID] Leafed tree branch, please!

The Common Ash has a pinnate leaf with 9 to 13 leaflets, as here I think.

Ash leaf buds are black but would you expect to see any at this time of year?

The tree flowers before the leaves appear. If there are any bunches of ash keys (fruits) hanging about or on the ground nearby that would help.
