    This reminds me of That Fr Ted Episode, The Aircraft is big and the Birds are far away, a Good Trick Photo methinks.

    Dramatic moment birds engulf plane

    This is the moment a flock of birds flew up from a runway, engulfing a U.S. Navy E-6B plane as it came in to land.

    5:25PM GMT 17 Nov 2010
    The pilot was able to land the £88 million plane safely – in the past, when birds are caught in the engine of a plane, it has caused engine failure.

    The birds were feeding on grass next to the runway at the Fort Smith Regional Airport in Fort Smith, Arkansas, US, and for an unknown reason took off just as the plane made its final descent.

    The dramatic images were captured by photographer Kaia Larsen as she drove past the airport on Oct 29.

    This photo is typical of some in recent years. Telephoto lenses bring things together but the sheer quality of digital images means you can crop to an incredble degree giving these false impressions. I remember a similar one taken in the US which appeared to show an F18 at an airshow passing incredibly close to an apartment buildiing. But it was all down to 12 megapixel images and cropping.

    Would the Telegraph not know this photo may not be accurate ?

    They would, I believe they would be "filling column inches" in the Paper, essentially a non-story.

    I suspect that the photo is not manipulated. All that's happened here is that the birds were between the photographer and the plane.
