Also i now see it is a requirement to report all bird strikes. Why?
If its a major problem at an airfield i would have thought that it had been long dealt with. Perhaps the airprox staff have nothing to do. When they collect and collate the info. and discover most bird strikes happen on take off and landing they will be recommending we all take off and land with landing lights on.
Give it twelve months this will be a JAR question in the Air Law exam!

I would prefer more direct investigation into more important things. Some years ago i had an exhaust valve failure, ended up PFL into a field. Looked through some safety bulletins to see how common the occurance. I was supprised how common it was.
It was a well known problem. Does that still exist?.
