I had a couple of these this morning; the third one is a Garden Grass Veneer -1293 Chrysoteuchia culmella, the fourth one is a Marbled Orchard Tortrix - Marbled Orchard Tortrix - 1083 Hedya nubiferana.
The top one is a bit too worn and knackered - so apart from it being one of the Agonopterix spp. I have no idea.
The second one is a Pyralid - and it's one of the Phycitodes spp. The most likely species is binaevella (22-27mm wnigspan, feeds on spear thistle), however need to know the size for comparison with saxicola (14-20mm wingspan, feeds on chamomile and other compositae) and maritima (18-22mm wingspan, feeds on yarrow and ragwort). If it's big enough you can confidently record binaevella, otherwise then a gen det is necessary for reliable identification.
