Scale is cms/mms
I think this is a Red Sword Grass
and this a Broken-barred Carpet
Correct please if wrong.
Have little idea about this one.

Hi Jack,
At work at the moment but I think 1 is a red sword-grass and 3 is early grey
Hope that helps

Oh,
And 2 may be Water Carpet but you will need to take a closer look

Re: Jack's moths Nairn (Highland)
Townsend and Waring suggests 2 is more likely to be Broken-barred Carpet if only because of the shape (notch) and back of hind wings where they meet the body.
Thanks for Early Grey. That had crossed my mind but didn't quite fit but does now on further check!
Goodness, aren't butterflies easy by comparison?

Thanks Scott.
This is a regular in the trap and it is presumably common. But the name escapes me even though I have seen many times in the past. Jack

Looks good to me. It's very like the "Scottish specimen" illustrated in Waring & Townsend.
