Took a bird through No 1. at V1 which started a fire. Handles pulled, QRH followed. Went out over the water to get a feel for the thing and give airport Fire and Rescue time to get ready. Made a single engine textbook landing on 22L and taxied to stand under own power following inspection by F&R.

And since it's not overtly clear from the above poster, incident happened in CPH - where only a couple of days previously an A300 took a bird (probably a decent sized seagull) right on the nose, penetrating the radome and messing up the radar assy - blood, gore and feathers everywhere. That one happened at 6000ft doing 210ish knots clean on the approach over Öresund.

One wonders why the CPH birds are not sound asleep at night
