I thought that it looked like a Chimney sweeper moth, Odezia atrata but Colin Knight has kindly corrected the ID as a Forester moth. See his wonderful pictures at https://www.colinknightimages.com/ Thanks Colin and best wishes with your pubic speaking!
It looks similar to a Burnet moth but has no red spots at all.
