I'd go for ruby tiger moth, but as a novice, best check up with someone more proficient than myself.
cheers,

I was pretty sure this was one of the Tiger/Ermine family, but a quick whizz through www.ukmoths.org.uk , reveals no exact matches. I must be missing something.

I think it's White Ermine:

My 2 pence worth; it could be either or, they are one of the worst to seperate. White if it was near water, Ruby if a drier location, and then there is the buffer zone where it could be one or the other...

Like I say, problematic. Sorry

Many thanks for the input Wandered Scot, it was close to water so White looks a good bet.
