Deer hiding behind Gorse bushes, Isle of Islay

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).
