Looks like I was closer PB, it is a Populus yunnanensis
Red Admiral:
Silver Y Moth:
Box tree moth:
So driving home from work this fella decided my windscreen was the ideal place to get a front row seat of 30-40mph travel! I pulled in to a lay-by to snap a phone pic and it scurried down the glass and settled under the bonnet.
Not sure what make, and not convinced by Google lens coz the bands it shows are light dark light, not dark light dark
Edit: I've done a bit of investigation and think it may be a Barred Sallow Moth
Lens was right with species but is just Barred Sallow
