Having seen the footage - EXTREMELY well done!
Herons are no pigeons and to ingest 2 in one engine on rotate must have concentrated minds and relaxed sphincters all round.
Nice, unsensational coverage, not a journo in sight
For those 'sniffy' of 'spotters', if things had gone 'pear-shaped' that footage with real-time ATC Tx background would have been useful to the subsequent investigation
No doubt someone will accuse the herons of drinking before flying. If so, was there a major security lapse allowing them airside?
