It hadn't occurred to me that berries could also be identified.
Here are three photos one each from the UK, Spain and Bulgaria

No garden but two balconies, one facing south and the other north.
Most of my plants are succulents which need little care

Madrid - Viburnum tinus
Sofia - Berberis (not B. vulgaris - fruit the wrong shape; and I don't think it is B. crataegina either)
Cornwall - Skimmia japonica (or related plant such as reevesiana)
