User's notes
Sorry, my only other photo of it is much worse, now added, and is a head-on shot. Not easy with a pocket point and shoot, as they tend to focus on the background. I saw and photographed 5 different moths in one area over 15 minutes. They were all very active, and there were also many small "blue" butterflies about.

Not a very sharp image, unfortunately.Possibly Merocroca automima, a concealer moth? Have you any other images, Christine?

It's not possible to be definite given the blurred image, but it fits Eulechria malacoptera

The pinkish colouration is just apparent and the acutely curved boundary bewteen yellow and brown.
