Just like London buses, wait an age and then 2 come along together.

The one shown is the second found in 6 weeks!!!!

Very clear variety in the hand although the picture isn't perhaps that conclusive. The spike is apparent at the tip of the horizontal (Gouby diagnostic) and the middle arm points at the centre of the 6, rather than past the base of the 6. The upward curve stops well short of the usual point and thickens at the tip.

No doubt at all under a natural light with weak magnification.
