Most interestingly at a completely new site. Also when first found it was a perfectly good spike later attacked by slugs. Report in December issue of British Wildlife or in the latest issue of the Hardy Orchid Society Journal.
All the best

When I saw the title to this thread, I thought someone wanted an update to the number of spikes which showed in my field at the bottom of the garden last year.
Blimey, rare is it, in that case I ain't gonna say anymore.

You probably saw something related to this, unfortunate timing since the declaration was released almost at the same time as the rediscovery was announced.
However it does not alter the message.
All the best
