There is no need for concern if a flight of Hawthorn Flies arrive in your garden as they neither bite nor sting, they are not a danger to you only your vegetation!
These flies do not like the water but often end up there due to the wind where they are quickly snapped up by hungry trout who can't get enough of them.
