Yesterday I had this little moth which is common across the British Isles but according to the Butterfly Conservation database is new to Skye:

Argyrotaenia ljungiana – Heather Twist

However, I can see a record in Strathaird by Stephen Moran in 1998. So, the second “second for Skye/Raasay” in a few days.
