Small white flying things?

Sorry can't be more desciptive than small white flying things, very small.

Was tidying up around my swede a couple of days ago. After disturbing the leaves there were loads of them flying around.

Anyone ideas on what they could be? I was thinking cabbage white fly, but not sure as I've never seen them before and there never seems to be anyone around on the site at the moment. :cry:

Just plain old whitefly.

More a nuisance value. Won't do a lot of harm to swede. Needs a good frost on them!

Thanks,

Here's looking forward to a few morning frosts then.

........Or could it be seagulls, just very far away?

Don't see many 'Shy Torques' on the plot. Considering we're only 3/4 of mile from the sea front.
