I tried to count splatters and got around 20 from one picture, you can see them from the nose cone all the way out to the leading edges. A mass would've been sucked through both engines too. A very serious incident here with a safe ending.

The commander evaluated and then re-evaluated (based on speculation from here), his decisions got the job done in a very serious situation. A damaged aircraft in the most critical stage of flight that probably became a glider of some sort due to extensive damage to both engines from bird ingestion. Well done to the crew!
