At least I think it's Aspen and not a Poplar hybrid. Any help appreciated even if you just know its family - I'm thinking Noctuidae but may be wrong. Many Thanks!

I think I've worked it out so sorry for the pointless post! - Chocolate-tip (Clostera curtula). The illustation on the WhatIsThisCaterpillar website bears little resemblence which put me on the wrong footing. :oops:
