Heathery deer

A young Sika Deer (Cervus nippon) roaming around the heather moorland in Wicklow Mountains National Park. Heather moorland is a particularly good place to photograph in as it provides with nice colors and separation in the foreground and background and it is relatively easy to hide and get closer to the animal without disturbing or scaring them off.
