Pyracantha

I spent quite a bit of today in conversation with a pyracantha, accompanied by a tree lopper & a pair of secateurs.  It was labouring under the illusion that it was a tree & was to occupy some of next door's garden as well as ours.  I've explained that it is a clambouring wall shrub & that it is welcome to stay providing it behaves as such on our fence.
I did leave as many of the yellow berries as possible for the birds (although they would prefer it if it were the red berried variety) - and have attempted to keep it looking like a prime nesting spot.
We've also discovered a rambling rector on the same fence.
I'm a bit stumped about a live willow arbour - need to research how to get it behaving.
