The bird strike occured around or just after V1, so the crew continued the take off.
An engine can eat quite a big bird without damage, in fact certified to do so. The momentary disruption of airflow through the compressor will cause the surge/stall, but then the engine will recover and operate normally.
If the crew saw no abnormal indications then continue the flight. Tech log entry after landing, "Suspected bird strike on take off, no. 2 engine". Maintenance will do an inspection.
