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
