Thanks for the link @wild edges looking closely I wonder if it could be Southern Wainscot, those black spots along the bottom edge of the forewing look right and those in the middle are not too far off either.
Two Yellow legged clearwing (male) to VES pheromone lure underneath the bottom Oak Tree this afternoon. Very flighty couldn't get a good shot outside of the pot before it took off again.
2 of 4 Gold Spot on the fence this morning, probably the highlight of last nights trap, though I did have quite a few moths that were new to the garden.
Its the way the white spots that reflect that get me. They are like those light reflective bands that runners wear. I only had the one in the trap the other day, but it was the highlight.
Jersey Tiger Moth I think. Several local sightings of these have been reported on Social Media recently, although I’ve never seen one before (Somerset). They are in Devon and Dorset though, apparently, so not a million miles away.

Apparently the only Wainscot with black spots on the lower edge of the forewings.
