Hi Leigh,

1 and 7 may be the Dark Strawberry Tortrix, Celypha lacunana.

could no 5 be Recurvaria leucatella?

1 & 7 is Celypha lacunana
2 could be Mullein Wave but these are normally coastal moths.
3. I'm sure I have seen this moth but I can't remember which one it is.
4. is Batia unitella
5. I'm pretty sure isn't Recurvaria leucatella. I think it is one of two moths that can only be sorted via Genitalia inspection and they are Oegoconia quadripuncta & Oegoconia deauratella
6. Square-spot Rustic.
