26 August, 2020 Today's UKGA carries some useful advice about our feathered friends....
Birds:- only 1% of reported birdstrikes occur above 2500 ft (unless your the pilot of a jet at 37000 that struck a vulture off africa!)
When flying along the coast, be aware birds use the coastline for navigation too. Consider flying above 2500 ft when flying along coasts particulary during July and August when young birds are at their peak trying to fly!
