A better night last night with several new species for us including a Burnished Brass (poor photo, great moth!) and this Gold Spot which looking at the book looks more like a Lempke's GS to us but it does say they are very difficult, any suggestions? Waiting for a couple of ID confirmations from Brian/Andy but the rest of the list isLarge Yellow Underwing 4
Lesser Yellow Underwing 1
Burnished Brass 1
Middle barred Minor 3
Common Footman 2
Northern Spinach 1
Gold Spot sp. 1

Hi Nick/Sandra,sent you a couple of emails,hope you recd em !
Only got the one that confirmed our ID of the Minor sp.
Nick/Sandra,looks like lempkes to me ,a good pointer is the line below the smaller of the 2 gold/silverish blotches it joins the top of the largist rectangularish marks on lempkes,it dosnt on gold spot it sort of peters out nr the bottom of same rectangular mark,the same rect mark is usually blunter at the tip on lmpks,but both can vary in shape of marks.hope this helps.Bri
Thanks Brian, gives us a bit of much needed confidence!
