Actually I don't believe for a minute that two, known specie birds were ingested into the engine.
On scene reports are notoriously inaccurate until/unless an expert from the manufacturer has examined the engines
Got to disagree with you there.
Plenty of amateur ornithologists around EGCC.
There are always bits of feathers and wotnot wedged in the fan/outlet guide vanes etc and plenty of interested parties have a shufty as soon as it gets back to the gate, whether they be engineers, pilots, baggage handlers or bird-scarers , all have a good local knowledge too.
Well done to all involved very professional job.
