I thought it was Goat willow or one of the Poplars However ....If you dry it out properly and keep it dry it will burn .

Yes I'm not bothered as I burn anything that's seasoned. Just thought I had got a bit better at identifying trees in log form lol

If you can see where the tree was felled, find leaves and this will be much easier to identify.  In fact you can use an app like Google Lense to identify it for you from the foliage.  Identifying species from logs is not easy for a novice.  Ideally identify from foliage and use that to build up your experience then one day you will recognise the logs.
