I knew I'd seen this before when I found it but I struggled to figure out what it was and in the end had to key it - painstaking as you have to go through an awful lot of couplets before you get to it with the Hackston keys (but at least every step was clear and straightforward)! A d'oh moment when I eventually got to it and realised I'd seen it in exactly the same spot just one year before.

The next time I found one I again recognised it as being something I'd seen before but this time had the sense to check here to jog my memory as to what it was called and save time keying it. It was found while sweeping Hazel and Bracken in the same wood as the two above.
