Thanks
Re the Spectacle, I'm not surprised I couldn't ID it looking at the UKMoths site!
No. 5 looks like a worn 2337 Marbled Minor Oligia strigilis as you suggested

4. Looks to me like Pempelia obductella, which appears to be quite a scarce species (but location is spot on): http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=2538
5. is a Dingy Shears.
Agree with the rest.

Thanks Sean,
Great to find a rare micro. Location is even more spot on in that I have a mini nature reserve behind the house called Chalky Bank. It's full of flowering Wild Marjoram where Pempelia obductella larvae live. In fact Marjoram grows all along the Fawkham Valley into the Darent Valley and North Downs proper.
