Maiden's Blush

A day-time moth flying in the garden proved to be Common Nettle-tap Anthophila fabriciana - probably indicates that I need to do some gardening as they're rather fond of stinging nettles.

First moth of the evening was this fine Maiden's Blush, new for the year.

Can't go wrong with Chocolate-tip, even if it was my third this year (I'd only ever seen 4 before).
