A sparrow sits by the side of a runway. "Any worms?", it thinks to itself. "Nah, no worms in the hard grey stuff, tried that". A Monarch A320 departs. Moments pass. "Any worms?", it thinks to itself. "Nah, none in the hard grey stuff". A Thomas Cook 757 departs. Moments pass.

"Thomson 763J cleared takeoff runway 03, surface wind 030 at 5"...

The sparrow leaps into the air, full of the joy of an imminent bird strike with a Thomsonfly 757 that sounds as though it may just be surging a bit in the starboard engine.

It must be the light blue colour and the red stuff on the tail. Perhaps the Thomsonfly pilots always try and take off to coincide with birds flying past. That'll be it.
