| | | More moths ....
Some of these I think I've IDed ok, but confirmation would be great, and an ID for 2. if possible please.
1. Lesser Common Rustic? Fore-wing approx 13mm   
2. Not a great photo as the flash reflection replaced colour detail and it didn't stay long enough for another shot with measurement, smallish moth - I'd wondered Dun Bar? 
3. Bramble Shoot Moth? Fore-wing approx 10mm   
4. Bordered Beauty? Not a hope of it staying put to measure!  |

Certainly a Bordered Beauty (very nice) and would seem to be a Bramble Shoot Moth from the Chris Manley book I am looking at (although the colours are different but will put that down to the difference in light).
I have trapped many Dun-bars and even though some are very worn I haven't seen one as crappy as that! You might be right on that one though (and they are around at the moment).
My guess would be Common Rustic on account of the wave at the bottom of the wing.
But what do I know?!

#1 could be a Cabbage Moth, not sure if there's another similar though.

1 looks like Common/Lesser Common Rustic to me+ Waring says these two only separable on genitalia. |

Thanks folks, I'll go with Common Rustic agg. for the first and check out Bee Moth for the second. |

I agree with the suggestions of Common Rustic agg. and Bee Moth. (Plus the Bramble Shoot Tip and Bordered Beauty.) |

Thanks Nutmeg - is the Bee Moth photo probably of a female? |
