Thought I was going to struggle to find this one as after five minutes searching i hadn't turned it up, but then I recalled a comment about dumped conifer branches. i brushed a few of these aside and there it was.

Knowing the berntsen is 2 metres away, in line with the trees, was helpful in finding it.
