seashore Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi Everyone I'm after information about birds flying in IMC for my blog. I'd be particularly interested in any reports of bird strikes in IMC, at night and at high altitudes, whether IMC or VMC or just sightings at high altitudes. I have posted some articles on my blog about bird navigation under the "science" link which is about whether birds can steer by compass, by the stars and some theories about long distance navigation. My blog can be found on: http://topbirdsandeveryfing.typepad.com/top-birds-everyfing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DWB Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I do battle with them (Galahs) nearly every time I take off & land on my strip at the moment. They're a worry. Should video them sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
