There were a few new ones for the year as well - Sprawler (1), Large Wainscot (1 - many thanks Martin Wainwright for sending one down), Dark Chestnut (1) and what I think is a rather faded Yellow-line Quaker based on the black dot near the wing base - photo below.
Here is my Dark Chestnut -
Finally, the moth below I have decided is a Feathered Thorn, but I was thrown a bit by the fact that the usual whitish spot near the wing tip is missing.

Hi Steve, yes, those three are all correct. Feathered Thorns do vary quite a bit but they shouldn't be confused with anything else at this time of year.

ReplyDeleteI don't think it is particularly unusual for the white spots to be missing.
I had a specimen last week where not only were the white spots missing, but the two cross lines were also missing.
