I think the tortrix is Eudemis profundana, but I'd be grateful for confirmation. The other moth - I have no idea...

Hi John

You are correct with Eudemis profundana.
The other moth is Borkhausenia fuscescens

Regards
Steve

Thanks very much Steve. I definitely wouldn't have realised it was Borkhausenia fuscescens from Sterling & Parsons!
