It's one of the Cotoneasters I think, not sure which, maybe Cotoneaster franchetii.

Yes, Cotoneaster - birds usually love them!

Agree Cotoneaster, though not sure which one, as SBG says, the birds usually strip the berries in short order!

Thanks for your help ,I did Google cotoneasters after your help with ID and there's one called cotoneaster lacteus which looks very much like my neighbours and a lot of people said the birds never eat the berries which is what my neighbour said .
