Hi John,

No 1 - Looks like a micro, can't help there - sure someone can though

No 2 - It's a close match to Mottled grey, but well outside the flight period. Haven't totally ruled out Silver Grlound carpet, but it's nothing like the ones I get. Still chewing this one over

No 3 - Pine Carpet

1. A micro I don't recognise.
2. I'm leaning towards Grass Rivulet on this one but it's awkward. The flight time is right.
3. Pine Carpet

Harry and Ian, you left out the 'Grey' in Pine Carpet. I think its Grey Pine Carpet. The basal side of central band doesn't seem indented enough for Pine Carpet.

#1 is a pyralid of the Scopariinae kind. No time to investigate, but at least you have a starting point.

#2 don't know on this one for now.

I had another look at #3 again and your right Angus, Grey Pine Carpet.
