We had a walk from Midgehole on to Gibson Mill today. On the way back we took a detour from the main track. A good move, we came across this nice moth, disturbed as we walked, and it landed in the leaves on the edge of our muddy detour.

Lee Mount - 3rd February
One in the trap this morning but struggling with identification of this probable micro Pyralidae ?
Thought at first sight maybe Acrobasis sp. then due to the dark tuft behind the head perhaps Phycita roborella - but I'm not convinced either way and they seem out of season too. Any thoughts ?
Update..........
Tortricodes alternella
Pale Brindled Beauty x 1 tonight - yesterdays two are still there

Lee Mount - 2nd February
Trap ahs been on most evenings with nothing doing at all. Not a single moth in January was not surprising with the wet, wind and low temperatures. Nice surprise to get two moths showing on 2nd and still there all day on 3rd.
Pale Brindled Beauty x 2 - pink abdomen showing quite well too.
