So you have the full summary, you have read it, but you chose to cite the ASN over the MoD summary for bird types?
I guess you must have your reasons.
The ASN and the MOD summary are identical in the opening paragraphs, apart from the following.

ASN: "shortly after takeoff, at an estimated height of 20 ft, the aircraft flew through a dense flock of Canada Geese flying in arrowhead formation between overnight roosting and daily feeding grounds. It suffered numerous bird-strikes"
.
MoD: "shortly after takeoff, at an estimated height of 20 ft, the aircraft flew through a dense flock of sea birds and suffered numerous bird-strikes"

Why would anyone want to insert "Canada Geese flying in arrowhead formation between overnight roosting and daily feeding grounds", or perhaps remove it.
