Spindle?

Or one of the cultivated rowans.

A closer look at the berries and any fallen leaves would be good
(you'll be back by teatime)..


Probably was but a cultivated form perhaps, or one that should be. Almost
fluorescent berries of a pinky mauve colour looked so out of place where it
was against the greens and browns of the pine forest edge. Rather like
suddenly coming across a neon sign. It was also the only one we saw.
