Can't make up my mind on any of these moths. What do you reckon?
1. Mottled Rustic? 
2. Noctuid sp. 
3. Plume moth sp. 
Cheers,

Are these recent photos? The bottom one is Marasmarcha lunaedactyla which is usually on the wing in July, seems a bit late. |

I'm going to go with
1. not confident on Rustics!
2. worn Straw Underwing
3. Marasmarcha lunaedactyla
I'm bound to be wrong though; I normally am!

Forgot to say they were taken up to a month or so ago. 
Thanks for the Plume Moth. That's a new one for me.
Defo not a Straw Underwing Miss C. I must start putting a scale in the pics again. This one was smaller than a Straw Underwing and lacks the distinctive white cross line of that species.
Cheers,
Adam |

Well, it was only a guess  I've never had a Nutmeg or Straw Underwing so I was going on pictures
