Scottish Wildlife
Hover Fly on pink flower
The Scottish Parliament Building in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh is a matter of architectural controversy; love it or loathe it? The grounds of the Parliament are also debated; natural or messy? I love it. On this day, the natural grassland and Scottish meadow flowers were buzzing with the pollinating insects attracted, like this hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus).
