Looks like some sort of cotoneaster?

Oh hang on, cotoneaster are not all that spikey I don't think. Try the
other one like it, pyracantha. I always get them mixed up.


Nope, not that one either. I think you mean berberis, which is another
common garden hedging plant often recommended against intruders.

I think this one is berberis darwinii, but could be wrong ;-)

I agree - it appears to be Berberis Darwinii. The leaves are like miniature
holly leaves and the yellow flowers are due about now.
