"Bitterns and Hen Harriers "

by Nick Derry

Nick is a student at Aberystwyth University, studying for a degree in European Languages. Nick often skips lectures to take a sketchbook round the seafront, making up elaborate excuses afterwards!

Here are a few extracts from his most recent sketchbook.







A freezing cold day at Tregaron Bog with the Aberystwyth University Natural History Society resulted in some fantastic views of three aggresive Bitterns in front of the hide.

Also a Hen Harrier flying through a blizzard as we stood getting covered in snow watching it. A memory that I will never forget.
