Can anyone ID this small moth which I had in my garden last month?

Yes. Small Magpie Moth. Eurrhypara hortulata. A common garden moth. It's larve feed on Nettles by rolling the nettle leaf. It can also be found on other labiates.

Thanks Colin

I've got a nice big patch of marjoram flowering at the moment, might have disturbed it from there. Very popular with the bees and butterflies.
