SS,
"And that's just what it is, an opinion!! That doesn't necessarily make it the correct solution."
I agree, we are all entitled to an opinion - so why try to belittle mine, based on a good few years of low flying - possibly more than yourself? The CAA, FAA and the military ALL share it, as it happens. All of them publicise their "opinion" that the lower you fly, the more likely you are to suffer a birdstrike. Do your own research but their "opinion" is backed up by facts gathered from birdstrike reports. 80% or so of all birdstrikes occur below 1000 feet and the lower you go, the worse it gets.
"Do you really think in that part of the world they are unaware of the bird problem?"
Not now,
