Pear tree - fungus?

Hi all, I have received some great tips here before so am back again to see if anyone has any wise words / knowledge for me...
I got 3 miniature fruit trees last April for my birthday, which are growing in pots in my garden. My pear tree has had loads of great blossom on it so far this spring but when I went to it a couple of days ago, some of the leaves had black edges. It looked almost as they'd been burned (they hadn't but that's the closest way to describe it)

Does anyone know what this could be and whether I need to do anything? I removed all the leaves that had it for now

It could juste be frost or wind nipping the leaves.
Pears can be a bit prone to fungal issues but it is too cold and today for that! That would probably be splodges across the leaves anyway.(Assume you're in the UK)

Can you post a picture?

Thank you, that sounds hopeful then, stupidly I removed the leaves before taking a photo I looked yesterday but there wasn't any more of it yet. I will keep an eye on it and hope it was nothing too damaging!
