Four:

1. IR skills test. Hit a red kite on climb out at about 300ft. Probably one of the shortest skills tests ever!
2. Going around at Guernsey at 400ft or so. Small bird (starling/lapwing) went down the left intake (PA31).
3. 0300 local over Ireland at 5000ft. No idea what it was but a nice red streak down the windscreen.
4. Bird-of-prey of some sort whilst over Sharjah at 1500ft. Smashed a spinner and a few other bits.
