Good morning all i tossed my ybs between Gretna and Longtown on wednesday at 12.15 last seen heading south with two B.P close behind 9 miles to my loft first bird back 14.13 after a long day only two to come one of them had a tracker on it if anyone gets it in could you phone the number on the ring and i will collect. Got one with tracker showed birds headed south for over 35 miles before turning for home it would be interesting to get other ring back to see how far they went.
-
Well done dal from me and alan

Its my system when you download the tracker it takes a reading every 3 min comes up as a blue dot if you zoom in on any dot it tells you speed and height at that point when the bird is of line as when attacked the blue dots end up showing the bird going in circles and if it goes to the trees or nearest building and for how long before it starts to fly again. I will get someone to upload pictures and you will see what i mean.

jUST IN WITH MINE FROM NEWARK TODAY SU19A443

For the people that have not seen it in action hears how it works You buy the kit from china around £260 with this you get 5 rings and 5 dummy rings the dummy rings are to put on the birds at home to get them used to them You also get all the kit to load into your computer it uses google earth to map them You set the ring at a time that you wish the ring to be active from this can be hours or days in the future when activated the battery lasts up to 9 hours I set it around the time i expect to be liberating at. some times as in the small picture i set it to early and you can see the car journey before liberation at Carlisle and Gretna The rings cost £30 to replace also i will point out that i had to pay a further £60 in duty to the customs before delivery On return you down load the ring info this tells you distance between lib point and home address average speed- height and distance travelled You can see on at any point the birds height and speed You can set the logger to take readings at different intervals Hope this goes some way in explaining how it works Abetter more in-depth explanation can be found on youtube got to ALOHA PIGEONS he shows you and explains very well how it works and how to buy

Got tracking system at xmas only now been trying it out showed birds homing and the way they straitened out the route as they got more tosses 3 tosses from the same point no problems all home in under 40 min 4 toss As we have all wondered where our bird go when they dont turn may be BP or classing this 4 toss turned out to be a eye opener . From lib point in carlisle to my loft in a strait line 32 kilometres have a look at the route the bird with the tracker took still 4 bird from 16 missing all well schooled birds Total distance covered 220 kilometres
