Mompha subbistrigella and others

 I kept three moths when I unpacked the trap yesterday morning. The first was a Sand Dart, a welcome occasional visitor to my garden from the nearby shore.

It's clearly rather worn.

I also found a hyperactive momphid that eventually consented to be photographed.

Mompha subbistrigella.

And lastly what I take to be an Endothenia tortrix, oblongana? I am none the wiser.

All suggestions gratefully received.

    I was wondering if you were trapping Adam!...I`ve done very little.
    Re your last moth. I reckon that it`s either Hedya pruniana or H. nubiferana, both are common and out now. One difference is the slight difference in size (which can`t be told from the pic) and the other relates to the exact location of the `post-median spots`. I`d be inclined to go for the 2nd-named.
