Another new one last night, Iron Prominent (we think!) plus an interesting micro moth, not sure what it is so any suggestions welcome!
Also photos from Wednesday at Midgley and Monday at Withens Clough, sorry for the dealy but was having problems with the computer.

Yes to Iron Prominent and the micro looks like Agonopterix arenella.
Thanks Charlie, I reckon micros will have to wait a while yet!
I know what you mean Nick, I know of a few seasoned moth-ers who leave micros well alone, but just remember some micros are bigger and/or easier to ID than some macros (pugs mainly).
I wouldn't discriminate between families if I were you, just do ones you feel happy with.Pyralids are a great introduction to micros with quite a few being "relatively" large and distinctive.
