On Saturday, it was to the east (on the railway embankment) of this path, on the other side of the first ploughed field on your left you encounter when coming from the tennis fields. It is mobile and can be very distant!
Monday: Still present midday today showing extremely distantly from Car Park @ TL 302021 looking South towards hedgerow that climbs the hill @ approx TL 301015.

I'm hoping to go to tommorow is it relatively easy to find if i follow the instructions. Also is it close or really distant all the time?
Thanks,

It can be a mile away if you're unlucky. On Saturday, it was about 50 yards away, close enough for reasonable digiscoping.
It was hiding in the bushes at times: I wouldn't have found it if I had been on my own. If no one has relocated it when you're there, scanning the trees and bushes should eventually be successful though. Chances are best in the morning. The main problem is the size of its territory.
