The Thomson Fly Boeing 757 had just left Manchester Airport en route
to Lanzarote when the herons were sucked into the starboard engine.

Oww... A friend lives by the river Dee near Chester, literally her
feet in the river (but half her house under water in winter ...). She
has lots of herons around because there's a fish farm less than a mile
away. The fish farm are alowed to kill the herons going to their farm
and my friend got one to eat (she eats road kills too). She said it
was very tender but a bit fishy ... yurk
