I hit, or rather a Rook hit my windscreen just before Vr when I had 1100 hrs. We were doing about 130kts and it made one hell of a thump (loud enough for cabin crew to ask if everything was alright during initial climb) but fortunately no damage. We saw the bird lift off the runway and then it we knew it was inevitable but it was still a shock!Took this picture later on in the cruise. The flight was my final line check...
I really wouldn't like to meet a bird at higher airspeeds even thought the windscreen is certified...
