[Goldie M]

On Monday I took this picture of a Moth it was in the bushes near a pond which is situated near the Sand Dunes at Birkdale
Southport. I've looked in my book but I'm stil not sure of it's identity Goldie M

Tricky. All I can suggest is a Wave. Possibly the Common Wave, Cabera exanthemata, or the Common White Wave, Cebera pusaria.

[Goldie M]

Thanks Nick, I'll have to go with that name because I've no Idea

I'd say the latter. The former is not so pure white.

This one is most likely Scopula floslactata. S. ternata is another possibility.
