Exclamation

Birsrikes are a serious problem the worst of them are large suckers like eagles and Pelicans. ive only had a few close calls.

but i would say the worst are flying foxes(large flying mammal like a fruit Bat) any way they seem to flock at sun set and sun rise and are heard to see if not impossible at night. A collision with a senica on final caused the wind screen to smash and fragments of bat went every where, the pilot still landed safely. well done, i thought.

any thoughts on flying foxes and other airbourne impact hazards.

Have a good one
