I was concerned that the perceived greyish colour was photographic effect but don't now think that can be the case. Would entirely concur with Nick, always worth finding a local expert to check the actual specimen, can be tricky to do some species from a photo.<br />Cheers PaulBomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180639901424288956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888557101920954598.post-31522961144367740102012-01-04T12:39:02.273+00:002012-01-04T12:39:02.273+00:00Hi Paul and Nick,

According to Plant, Northern Winter Moth is commoner south of the Thames; it might be worth sending one to Graham Collins for verification<br /><br />regards Nick TannerNick Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021376617198709000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888557101920954598.post-87646854965799298032012-01-03T20:58:28.331+00:002012-01-03T20:58:28.331+00:00Hi Pete, the rather greyish colour and silky white...Hi Pete, the rather greyish colour and silky white hindwing would lean me towards Northern Winter Moth. Not a species I'm very familiar with though, it's a real rarity down here and I've only ever seen one! Any idea of status in Surrey?
