I agree on the last picture. The middle one is Aglossa pinguinalis.

Hi Mark.
Your first link brings up a bird picture, but I see an Old Lady moth in the same set. Is that what you mean? The second is a Pyralid known as the Large Tabby Aglossa pinguinalis. In my book it says: "the larva lives in silken galleries amongst chaff and hay refuse in barns, and also in sheep-dung....". The third is indeed a Willow Beauty.

The larva is the Reed Dagger Simyra albovenosa, a nationally scarce moth.
