Many thanks Juergen. Something I read suggested the males were smaller than the moth I photographed, but with these very long antennae it has to be a male.

Same family, different species... I'm pretty sure this is the Gold-banded long-horned moth (Nemophora / Adela degeerella), with perhaps even more spectacular antennae!
