Jan Haseler has sent what she describes as "an appalling picture taken with shaking hands on a mobile phone of a moth on a flower blowing in the wind"! Despite these constraints, the photo clearly shows one of at least 11 Six-spot Burnets that Jan saw at Corner Field at Moor Copse reserve on 25 September.

This is the latest ever record for Berkshire; the next latest one was on 3 September, in 2021 from Martin Corley, and otherwise the Berks records run up to 17 August.
Looking at the records on iRecord there was one also reported on the same 25 Sept date this year in West Lancashire. But it's certainly an unusual occurrence.
I saw a Five-Spot at Shotover this week as well oddly, very fresh.
