@ de fumo
I looked out and saw we were on profile to plough through a huge flock of gulls, with no avoidance forthcoming. I took control and ducked below what would have been a multiple strike.

That was a good one
All this in a heavy widebody jet after take-off to avoid birds. Let us know more of your flying stories
