Well I had my one and only birdstrike after 33 hours (just checked my logbook!). Definitely below 500ft as I making a final approach to the airfield. Wasn't much left of the crow and I needed a G&T while the engineers checked it all out

The airfield was a busy international airport with bird scaring in operation. Obviously takes a lot to scare a crow

Cheers
