Please ensure correct information is used - the report says "the aircraft flew through a dense flock of sea birds..." and "After the accident 77 dead sea birds were found on or near the runway".
Sea birds are generally members of the gull family. There is no mention of 'large Canadian Geese' in the report. A search of the airfield would not have included fields outside the airfield.
Link to the report.
