I didn't actually say you do that in a glider. I know my landings a bit fast sometimes but not fast enough to GA :-)

We don't know exactly what the effect was of hitting those birds. It might have left them going sideways, one low over the grass for all we know. Point is the GA may have been correct thing to do. We'll just have to wait and see. Good outcome anyway.
