If for no other reason but to bump this and ensure that I am corrected - and with nothing more on European macros than Robineau and nothing on European pyralids!:-

Photo 1 - not something that I recognise from Britain so I'll be disappointed if its on the British list. Taking a riciulously ill-informed stab in the dark, I was drawn to something like Anarta/Colestra/Hadula pugnax but I may as well have stuck a pin in a taxonomic list!

Photo 2 - Yellow Belle Semiaspilates/Aspitates ochrearia

Photo 3 - Scarce Bordered Straw Helicoverpa armigera

Photo 4 - even more probably ill-informed than the noctuid but something like Ancylolomia tentaculella?

Photo 5 - Riband Wave Idaea aversata

All the best

Thank you very much for help, Paul. I have only one book about butterflies/moths, a very good one, but unfortunately it is written in Swedish...By the way, I know Romanian, a little bit English and a very few things about French. Nothing about Swedish...

Can't help you with the big ones, but I agree that #4 is Ancylolomia, although I think it's A. palpella.

Hello Cristian

We haven't talked for a while - it's David from Budapest.

I think that your first one may be a non-british species called
Abromia monoglypha. It is the only one I can find in the Hungarian
and the French book which has bothe the W-mark and scalloped
edge to the wings, the pronounced kidney and circle, and the dagger
mark, too. I haven't checked it on European Moths yet, because I've been
looking at your photo while I looked at my books.

It's as close as I can get.

Very best

David

Thank you very much for help, David. Strange, I didn't find any reference for this species on web...

P.S. Please help me with 11(!!!) more species (pics taken in the same location):
