Suggestions, please, for a shrub (whose berries will be left for birds
to eat), for a very small, shaded garden (not mine) in the Midlands. It
has heavy clay soil, waterlogged in winter (yes, it's a nightmare!).

Thank you.

The only thing I can think of that meets the criteria is cotoneaster
horizontalis. Most of my garden is shaded as I have a lot of mature trees,
and the soil is heavy clay. It gets very sticky in the winter although I
wouldn't called it waterlogged. C.H. survives here. Has red berries which
the blackbirds have now eaten up completely.
