Good video , thanks for posting . He is very fortunate the debris didn't cause serious injury to his eyes that would have affected his vision .
 
Well now, that's the second video of a bird strike through the pilot's windscreen in the past several months! I guess that the ubiquity of using cameras recording in flight is the reason for this...

I've seen the aforementioned strike with the Piper, and another one involving a C-210; props to the pilots for bringing their airplanes down safely!

Lots of things go flying around after a bird strike... perspex, suction mounts (with the GPS still attached), the weatherstripping around the windscreen...

:dizzy:
