Cadoxton Ponds (Macros)

I set an MV in Dow Corning's nature area in Cadoxton last night and had my best catch of the year so far. Unfortunately (partly due to the slightly unfamiliar habitat and partly due to the silly hour i have to get up to get to Barry) i'm struggling with quite a few so apologies for the number of photos coming up...

There was approximately 60 sp. in total with the most striking macro being a beautiful Barred Yellow which i think is a first for me.
Plenty of other FFY including grey/dark dagger, small fan-foot, beautiful hook-tip, lime-speck pug, light arches, clay, mottled rustic and turnip moth. There were also the following which i'd appreciate confirmation (or correction) please:
1.Common pug?
2.Smoky Wainscot
3.No idea!
4.Dusky Brocade


5.Heart & Club

6.Pale-shouldered Brocade
