Probably overlooked in the past, being written off by my untrained eye as Epinotia bilunana.
Now that my eyes are slightly less untrained I am able to add this one to the garden micro list ...
Copper Underwing is in full flow at the moment.
I always check the underside of the hindwing for the first half dozen or so to separate Copper Underwing from Svensson's Copper Underwing until I have both, then I record them as aggregates.
Many a moth has left my garden with a bald head and less scales than when it entered.
Both species are now on my year list.
