My second Bulrush Wainscot and sixth Northern Rustic.

 Magpie Moth

Wax Moth 

 |Swallow Prominent

 Maple Prominent

 Bulrush Wainscot

Knot Grass 

This slightly odd specimen had me confused at first, but it seems to be an odd form of  Knot Grass

Coronet 

I don't know why, but the digital camera seems to find much more in the pattern of the Coronet than my eyes do!

 Burnished Brass

 Northern Rustic

A slightly odd name for the lover of coastal sites, from the North, West and a few South and Eastern sites.
