Very happy to say I got my gps bird home from Oban (128mile) at the weekend and the results is very interesting! The birds were liberated at 8am and as far as I can make out he took 14 minutes of circling before heading on his line of flight home following the Glen North, Weirdly he seems to land 16 mile North of Oban minutes into flight for no apparent reason (spooked by bop maybe?) for 52 minutes before heading off again, He follows closely along Loch Linnhe upto Fort William where he was raced from the week before, From Fort William he then follows Loch Lochy upto Fort Augustus where he was raced from 2 weeks previous then cuts over the loch to fly north to just east of Inverness changing direction easterly to get home, Its apparent that he does his best to avoid populated areas such as Inverness, Nairn, Forres, and Elgin whether this is intentional I dont know?? Overall he flys 152mile with a top speed of 52mph at times and at altitudes of 738 meters above sea level over the Munro "Sarin á Choire Ghairbh" at Loch Lochy which is very close to its peak which suggests they don't always fly around mountains but over them all the while crossing bodys of water without hesitation, He was only one of 191 liberated that morning so how much of it he flew him self and if his route was influenced by other birds is unknown, Thanks again Simon for the gps ring!
