For some reason I have a blind spot with that and the Mottled Rustic - both usually hide in the egg box and I don't get them potted properly.Mark Griffithshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269038484970499254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789886813706673673.post-13564257371912359342015-09-01T18:05:08.843+01:002015-09-01T18:05:08.843+01:00Nice one Steve, and thanks for having a go!Nice one Steve, and thanks for having a go!Dave Wiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533795070964851106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789886813706673673.post-38157251891581039902015-09-01T17:59:08.536+01:002015-09-01T17:59:08.536+01:00As someone who couldn't identify a Lesser Yell...As someone who couldn't identify a Lesser Yellow Underwing earlier in the day I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer any query but the little fellow looks like a Pale Mottled Willow which I get up on the hill at Garsington.
