Lee Mount - 19th July

First Buff Arches of the year - with two smart looking individuals
A brown looking Marbled Beauty along with six other typical ones
A green looking Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing
An Angle-striped Sallow
2 x Uncertain (I think)
+ a few others...
 Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing

 Buff Arches

 Marbled Beauty

 Angle-striped Sallow - oops nearly had it down for and Orange Sallow !!

Uncertain

And another dark moth c18 mm that had me baffled for a while and which I can only conclude is a Turnip Moth (TBC) (they always throw me a bit).
It shows quite a large elongated oval and one one shot I have the kidney mark looks double lobed.
The underside shows a nice clear silver-white under-wing which I also saw from above when it opened its wings. Dark streaks on the abdomen also show nicely though I have not found any other photos of Turnip Moth underside as yet.
