I'm sure that Matsukaze has got it right.
Those are nice photos and, if you have got the 'bug', you should get a field guide to find your way around. There's a good list under the 'Resources' tab on the Home Page of this website - I like the Richard Lewington guide, as an easily-pocketable reliable reference.
There are only 58 breeding British species, so it doesn't take long to become familiar with them all, though there are also several colourful day-flying moths, which confuse a lot of people. Once you have all these under your belt, cross the Channel and there are hundreds more to see!
