A very breezy night produced 34 moths of 11 species.
This included a well marked Satellite, a moth which I haven't recorded recently.
The other moths were - Chestnut, Yellow-line and Red-line Quaker, Red and Dark Sword-grass,
Merveille du Jour, Red-green Carpet, Feathered Thorn, November Moth agg. and a solitary micro Light Brown Apple Moth.

From Aberporth to Llanon there are only 8 records for the Satellite which is surprising for a common moth whose caterpillars are omnivorous. There was 1 record in 1923, 1985, 2014, 2015 (4 records including 3 from your old house), and 2016.
