We saw lots of flying ants on Saturday when we were in Kent. Haven't seen them round here yet, but we've been away a few times and may have missed them

Several weeks ago here, if you live near the coast and the seagulls are getting very excited a couple of hundred feet up its usually a sign of it

These buggers obviously have a very complex messaging thing going on or they have a collective intelligence. The trouble is that these so called science experts cannot see the obvious

They're not flying this year due to lack of baggage handlers.

Had a lot about 2-3 weeks ago here. Looks a bit manic if you are not "insect friendly" but they do disperse within a day.

Depends if they plan on flying from a UK airport- in which case, they're pretty much fucked this year
