Birdstrikes

The reason there has been so many bird strikes is the DAA cutting the grass so short a few weeks back. Coming for a farming background it looks to me like they just got ordinary agri contractors in, probably making round bales for sale. Once you cut the grass that short( sometimes exposing soil ) it makes it a haven for birds looking for food. Ideally it should be 2 or 3 inches long short enough not to nest in long enough to, well you see what..... I hope they have learned from there mistake this time round with all the bird strikes. i wonder how many bale they made the sale for €4.50 a pop.
