This is now confirmed as Spiny Hook-tip (Watsonalla uncinula). Appears to be the first confirmed mainland UK record!

This Watsonalla sp. was trapped in my VC34 garden on 07.10.23, and seems to show features of Spiny Hook-tip W. uncinula. Any views welcome @PhilSterling3 @dgcountryside

A memorable day of #moths in June 2022, starting with Silky Wave in the Avon gorge and ending with new-for- S-Wales Dotted Fan-foot at Magor Marsh with @gmtord, after a tortuous 3hr journey from home to that should have taken 40 minutes but for a lorry fire on the Severn Bridge.

2022 #moth highlights: In a top @MigrantMothUK year, major rarities evaded me, but I did catch this Splendid Brocade, trapping @DungenessBO in late June with @SBO_Jason. Dotted Footman from the same trap.
