A British Airways Boeing 747-400, registration G-CIVR performing flight BA-176 (dep Oct 24th) from JFK New York, to LHR London Heathrow, departed JFK's runway 31L, landed on Heathrow's runway 27L and taxied to the gate.
A post flight inspection showed a bird had impacted the nose of the aircraft. The aircraft was seen as such at London-Heathrow Airport. It's unclear if the bird strike occurred during departure from New York-JFK Airport, or during the approach to London-Heathrow Airport.
The aircraft remained on the ground in London for about 12 hours, then departed for the next flight to JFK after repairs (replacement of the nosecone/radome)
