I'm in the UK for a few days so taking the chance to trap during the nice weather.

Got this last night, thought it was a Nutmeg but not sure?

Close up of the eyes included which should be hairy in Nutmeg.

Hi Andy
Quite right about Nutmeg eyes being hairy. As this appears not to be, it can't be a hadenine so the next choice would be an amphipyrine. In this case, it's a Rustic Shoulder-knot, Apamea sordens. The black lines at the middle of the wing base is a good clue.
