Hi,
This moth was in my allotment trap two nights ago with two twin-spot quakers (Anorthoa munda) as company. At first glance, it had the look of a Clouded drab (Orthosia incerta) but on further inspection it was, unlike the clouded drab, smaller, had rounded wings and feathered antennae (just about visible in this photo). I asked Mel Bellingham to have a look at it and he agreed with my ID. It was the first I'd seen for years and my first in Cheshire. Hoping that someone will confirm.
Regards
Huw
