Light Orange Underwing lifer!

Either would have been a first for me today during a brief walk, a 'Butterfly like' object was seen racing up and down a ride in sunny but windy conditions, it was one of the Orange Underwings and it was a struggle with the net to attempt to capture it to confirm its identity.
Back home, a few photos confirms that it is Boudinotiana notha, the Light Orange Underwing, and a Female as well with the less serrated antennae. A little worn but pleasing all of the same. Basil's Park, Central Herts. 15/04/19.
The only over find in 20 mins was a lovely purple-shot Eriocrania which is either sangii or semipurpurella.
