Deer hiding behind Gorse bushes, Isle of Islay

Image

Picture of a young (?) deer behind some Gorse bushesI think we spotted it somewhere along the road between Gruinart and Loch Gorm, but I’m not sure. A deer behind some Gorse bushes on the side of the road. While it was with my camera I think my sister Imke might have taken the picture the day she arrived for one of her Islay visits a few years ago (so I’m filing this under guest pictures).

Walkers in the north of Jura

Picture of a group of walkers on a track in a remote landscapeAn impression from the Islay walking week 2015 excursion to the far north of Jura. This is from the early stages of the walk to the Corryvreckan, having left from the road end not long before. We still had about six miles to go at this stage. Note the deer on the hills towards the left.
