NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
Flying ants are a common summer phenomenon in the UK, with large numbers emerging during warm weather. The toxin released by these ants, known as formic acid, can have intoxicating effects on animals that ingest them. This unusual behavior in seagulls may be exacerbated by the presence of large ant colonies in seaside areas, where the birds are also commonly found.
