Midges?

On Monday, at the Ponds, Bob T and I were beset by swarms of insects. They looked like large mosquitoes and I think they were midges (which breed on water). The good news was, that, while the air was really thick with them, they got out of our way and left us in peace. Attached is a picture of what we saw, with an inset showing an enlargement. The only puzzle ~ how come last week's Swallows were absent on Monday?
