You're probably right, Brian. It was on the small size (wing length c 16mm - I've posted another photo to try and indicate its size) but well within the range.
I just heard from my CR that I had a Haplotinea insectella in July last year - a first modern record for Surrey.

Agree with Brian. The wings look too rounded for Mottled Grey.

Thanks, Tony and Brian. I had another message off-line as well to the same effect.

Last night was slow trap-wise but this was in the kitchen:

Acleris cristana

 

[sourton]

Not much in the trap last night
3 x Brimstone
1 x Hebrew Character
1 x Clouded Drab
1 x Garden Carpet ( found on shed near the trap)
I also had this one on the shed near the trap but I cant decide if it is a Currant Pug or a Wormwood Pug, anyone got any ideas please.

Had quite a good night last night, plenty of moths plus a new species for the year.
Common Quaker 6
Clouded Drab 3
Hebrew Character 2
Brindled Beauty 1
Early Grey 1
Powdered Quaker 1 (NFY)

Also the Clouded drab i reported on the 17/04 turned out to be a Northern Drab (see moth ID forum)

After a few clear and cold nights the last one was a bit better. I turned on the trap again, and in it this morning was 94 moths of 14 species, one new for the year;

Kentish glory- Endromis versicolora 1 (male)

The pug looks like Currant for me.

Euugh Svein, that is sexy! (I think I need help).

 

[SveinB]

Brian, then we must see the same specialist- lol

A day at Newport Wetlands turned up a few Nettle Tap and a possible Diamond backed moth. Plenty of butterfly around aswell including a single Painted Lady and an impressive 36 Orange-tip and 22 Speckled Wood!

[martinf]

Last night was very quiet,

2 Currant Pugs
1 Hebrew Character
1 Bright-line Brown-eye
1 Yellow-barred Brindle (NFG so just checking ID!)

No problem with that ID as far as I can see.

Certainly a yellow barred brindle, caught a few last year.
