The number of bird strike incidents at Britain's airports has nearly doubled

A Shuttlebottom posted the above title in his story. Sure, "number of birdstrikes" can increase and makes one think the birds are taking over the skies !
Now, everyone knows that this is only one part of the total picture, which is the ratio per numbers of
activity in which bird strikes occurred. So, please report this in a rate per number of flights or hours flown, so that we can properly understand the impact (or lack thereof)
