Strange moths

[J.B.Murray (John Murray)]

A number of unusual moths have turned up in the trap at Marshalls Heath
recently.  This morning there was a Saltern(?) Ear and a moth resembling a White
Colon, but I've put that in the fridge and will have a longer look tonight. 
Does anyone know if the Saltern Ear is spreading?  I know that it is an
occasional visitor in parts of North London and Middlesex, has it reached
Hertfordshire?  

Also in the trap in the last fortnight or so were Waved Black, 3 Lesser-spotted
Pinion, 3 Monochroa palustrella and a Least Carpet; the latter also trapped by
Mark Sterling at Bernard's Heath, St Albans, at the same time.  

SORRY ABOUT LACK OF LATIN NAMES.  I'm writing this at work so don't have them to
hand.
