Leaf-miners and Narrow-winged Pug

New for the year for home on 8th August were Beech Midget Phyllonorycter maestingella, Horse Chestnut Leaf-miner Cameraria ohridella and Narrow-winged Pug, the latter a species I've only ever encountered on heather heathland before, albeit sometimes then in good numbers.

Another species that sounds like it should be a heathland species from its common name is, in fact, not, but still one I don't see often: Heath Marble Endothenia ericetana.
