This is weird looking even by moth standards. It is small (officially the wingspan is in the region of 22-27mm) and evolved under mother nature's sway to resemble bird shit. It is known as the Chinese Character (cilix glaucata). We had one in the bathroom last year, I tried and failed to photograph it well then and I haven't quite got it this time either because of the flash, but at least this year the thing is recognisable.
It was just one of a number of interesting moths that have been in the bathroom in the last couple of days and which I'll try to catch up on, though I'm back at work and have less time at my disposal.
