I found this species today at Warren Carr Blundeston. I have been out specially for the species before with no luck, but chanced upon it today because as it was so windy the moths were on and around Sallow catkins low down out of the breeze. Two males seen.

Saw 2 today myself here at IGC, flying over a flowering Sallow in a sheltered area. Not my first for the year however, as I saw a good number of these moths at Carlton marshes SWT reserve on Saturday late morning whilst walking to the viewing area for the American bittern. First time I’ve seen the moth there. And yes, I did see the Bittern too briefly on the ground after a bit of a wait.
Also saw them today (19th) enjoying the warm sunshine on 2 sites. On the SWT reserve at Lound I counted 4. On sallows at Breydon I counted 18 using binoculars.
My binoculars not theirs!
