Acleris cristana

For once only moths in the trap this morning (unless you count the small diptera) and a decent bit of variety including a garden first, Acleris cristana. Unfortunately a rather poor photo as I wasn't aware of the significance at first and it was a dull morning in any case. You can just make out the diagnostic tuft of pale scales about half way along each wing. There are very many attractive colour forms of this moth, of which this is probably about as dull as they get.
