Took this today,quite breezy,unable to hold the branch steady,as the blossom was weighing it down.Not very sharp.I have looked all through the moth book,but cannot see anything with these specific markings
Thankyou.

Do hope someone can give him a name,I think he had been in a lavendar pot all night,jumped out when I was watering the plants and he then spent the afternoon sleeping on the blossom(buddleia) Could it be an "Orange Swift"?.
