Hi Nev

The top one is a Square-spot Rustic and the bottom one is a Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow underwing,
note the pale head and shoulders.

Thanks Greg.
I'm trying to keep a list of helpful features to ID moths as I go along, so the info about the Lesser BYU is v useful.
The problem with reading guides is that it can be difficult to sift out what helpful practically :)
Thanks
Neville
