Could it be Forsythia?

Probably Forsythia ?

Or Laburnum a bit later on (good now).

I think it is Forsythia,I have one ,mine is more like a big bush,and goes all yellow in early Spring..don`t look like flowers,more like bright yellow leaves,very bright and cheerful.
Laburnum usually flowers in May and has beautiful hanging yellow bunches of flowers(bit like tassels) and are ofter trained over a arched "tunnel"...really spectacular.

Mine flowers really early but is more of a tree than a bush... everything grows wild in my garden lol
