Comment: A Seagull fleeing for it's life as Air Transat's C-FDAT bears down on it at 140 mph on short finals to Rwy 23 at Toronto. Birds are a major concern around large airports, especially on take-off. It doesn't help that there are several fast food restaurants at the end of the Rwy 23 threshold.
