Human Factors
After landing we realized we had landed at 150 knots when approach speed was supposed to be 136. 150 knots was our clearance to the final approach fix. We were distracted looking for birds the Controller told us were at our approach end. This was my second flight after not flying in three months.At 500 feet instead of saying stabilize clear to land should have verified approach speed bugged and actually flying.
Air carrier Captain reported a speed deviation on landing and attributes the error to being distracted as they looked for birds pointed out by ATC.
