Abstract
The results of the identification of bird remains from 1541 birdstrikes are presented. Small gulls and lapwings, which habitually feed in short grassland habitats, predominated and most strikes involved species weighing 0.5 kg or less. Numbers of birdstrikes vaired with seasonal distribution and abundance, the most important factors being influx onto airfields after breeding and the arrival of winter visitors.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
