Peter,
I think that, not having clubbed antenna it's a moth. The nearest I can find in my book is Speckled Yellow but I'm only 50% on that.

Yep - a Speckled Yellow moth. See http://www.ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=1652

Thanks Martin/Pete

Looking at the catalogue image supplied by Pete I would say you are both 'spot' on.....oops. :wink:

No wonder I could not find it in the Butterfly catalogue :oops:

Cheers
