one came through the upper windscreen and grazed my helmet, the others came in the cabin thru the cargo door. Reall mess. Diverted to nearest land airport. Nobody hurt. Aircraft had broken upper windscreen, but nothing else. Marks on acft show a few other impacts. Had bird parts as souviniers.
All the lights were on, search light, flood lights, strobes, and anti-collison.....
On NVG's and saw nothing coming!
