  2. Just the 6 species over the hour, I was restricted to counting the species landing on my balcony. (If you can check out `Madog`s` Wells online,) then see `Swallow Cottage` you can clearly see the `balcony The siskin have been landing in Alders to my left of said balcony. We have had a splendid 4 weeks up here, but will be returning to Manafon next week. We were totally snowed in for 9 days, but the views and bird movement was terrific.
