I have encountered many birds in foggy conditions, but not actually in thick cloud.
Many, mostly smaller bird varieties, either stayed on the ground (warm runway) or flew at low level with the ground still in sight.
Other mainly larger birds, were often just above the fog top (in the hold), these could be there in relatively large numbers and resulted in some near misses.
