 I was thinking this is a Svensson's Copper Underwing due to lack of definition in lower bar?

  1. As an expert on plumes (not!! I was even looking at Swedish moth sites last night to try and sort mine out) I think yours is common plume Rob but difficult from pic.

  3. Ypsolopha scabrella would only be third record for VC49.
