Dark Arches?
Garden Dart?
Clay?
No idea
Copper Underwing?
Here's my latest attempt at trying to identify moths. So far I reckon I've seen (or stringed) the following species over the last few weeks:
Buff Arches, Least Carpet, Small Scallop, Riband Wave, Yellow Shell, Common Pug, Brimstone Moth, Swallow-tailed Moth, Common Footman, Cinnabar, Garden Dart, Heart and Dart, Flame Shoulder, Clay, Smoky Wainscot, Common Wainscot, Knot Grass, Copper Underwing, Straw Underwing, Dun-bar, Common Rustic, Silver Y, Mother Shipton, Common Rustic and Dark Arches.
Birds today included 30 Green Sandpiper, 1 Greenshank and a juvenile Peregrine. The other guys had some more Blackwits too.

Hi Peter, your Garden Dart is a Lesser Yellow Underwing and your 'no idea' is a Knot Grass
Did I actually get the others right?
Yes, although the Copper Underwing could be a Svensson's Copper Underwing
I read that the only way to tell Svensson's is to look at the pattern on the inner wing- I had another one last night and caught it in a jar but still couldn't work it out.
