Two interesting moths at Radley Lakes, 25th June

I found what I think are Beautiful China-mark and Dotted Fan-foot at Radley Lakes this afternoon (25/6). The latter is scarce in Oxfordshire according to Waring & Townsend.

    Hi David,
    Yes to both those two. Nymphula nitidulata seems to be the least common of the China-marks and is always nice to see. Dotted Fan-foot used to be a rare wetland species but then underwent quite a significant expansion about ten years ago and I even had it in the garden annually for five or six years, but it seems to have retreated a bit recently.
