Osprey and blog settings

 Thanks to Paul Leafe for a message received yesterday midday: an Osprey at Caersws, heading downstream towards Newtown. 

In other news, we have changed the settings on this blog, so that it's easier to make comments. We hope this will encourage more participation from all you readers of the blog!

    Thanks Simon. I have had problems with having to log into my Google account before, so this is very helpful. I do hope it brings more engagement. :-)

    The comment settings were originally changed many years ago because there were several nasty comments appearing on the blog, with many coming from anonymous people. Hopefully it won't come to that again.
    The osprey had a blue colouring on its right leg, but sadly it was too far to read!

    Thanks Paul. We hope there'll be no nastiness - this isn't Westminster!
