Dolophones conifera
A cryptic orb spider with a flattened abdomen and legs that can effectively hide on a thin twig. Notice that it has a thread attachment in case it gets knocked off its branch.
On a small sapling in a nature reserve.

Thanks Ernst.
It pretends to be a bud.
I see them occasionally.
