One moonlit night in southern China we were transitting at 500 ft amsl. Suddenly the city lights outside went out as a VERY big bird hit my aircraft just above the windscreen. I landed shortly afterwards to find lots of blood, guts and feathers up and over the top deck but no damage.
I suspect the bird was a Black-eared Kite, commonly known as a S**te-Hawk. It also scared the S**te out of us.
Any guesses where my user name came from?
