YOU CAN SEE YOUR RESULTS
Jose Ledesma the owner and race manager of the ‘Arona Derby
International One Loft’ race in Tenerife is carrying out comprehensive
trials using race pigeons fitted with his own manufactured
‘PathFinder’ GPS positioning pack (see
photo) and which he hopes to bring to the market in due
course. All his findings are graphically illustrated by way of
quality, high resolution films which can be viewed on his web site.
The first of the trials involved using 10 young birds whose ages
ranged between 8 and 10 months and with one fitted with ‘PathFinder’.
They were released some 19 km (nearly 12 miles) along the coast from
Jose’s lofts and this route home did mean they had to negotiate around
a quite high mountain near to their home lofts.
As you can see from the Trial 1 image, they initially headed
well out to sea and covered 5 km (3 miles) out there on their journey
home (Jose is of the view they may have headed out to sea in an
endeavour to avoid a raptor). The team quickly headed in a homewards
direction whilst at sea and reached a maximum speed of 83 kmh (51 mph)
and whilst over the water they generally held speeds between 78 kmh to
81 kmh before arriving on the coast once again. Their speeds
then dropped quite dramatically flying over land with lows of 42kmp
and highs of 56 kmh. But when arriving some short distance from the
mountain, they did appear to be not quite sure if they should go to
the right or left of it, but once that decision was taken they made
very light work of the last few miles with speeds increasing to the
high 60 kmh. All 10 arrived back together and considering the young
bird wearing the ‘PathFinder’ pack had the handicap and discomfort of
wearing this pack weighing nearly three quarters of an ounce (harness
4 grams, GPS pack 15 grams) and so did exceedingly well to keep up
with them all.
It is hoped the final production design of the ‘PathFinder’ pack will
be around 12 grams.
In another experiment (Trial 2 image) Jose wanted to find out
just what our birds would do when released above cloud level and so
they were taken some 40 km (nearly 25 miles) to a mountain named
‘Teide’ which rises some 3,717 metres (over 12,000 feet).
Three batches of 20, 20 and 25 birds were used and each batch included
one ‘PathFinder’ pack bird. They were released at a height of 2,200
metres with the dense cloud some 500 metres below at 1,900 metres.
Jose made sure their release point had their home loft directly in
front of them and so ensured there was no need for to them to circle
around the mountain. The birds had just two choices, either stay
above the cloud cover and eventually perch up, or risk descending
blind into the clouds and obviously this was not an easy decision for
them, because they traversed around the mountain for over 2 hours
looking for a break in the clouds, but they found none. Upon which,
two of the batches took the brave decision to descend down the
mountain side flying blind through the clouds. In this rapid descent
incredible speeds of 92 mph were obtained, but once at their normal
flying height they made quick work of their return to the lofts. The
other batch after traversing around the mountain for their two hours
decided to stay above the cloud cover at 2,000 metres and whilst they
did head for home, unbelievably then flew over their home lofts and
carried onwards out to sea for some 12 miles away from the Tenerife
coast, whereupon they did a 180 degree turn and unlike the other two
batches, their descent speed hit a maximum of 61 mph some 30 mph less
then the mountain descent, so perhaps these may have found a break in
the clouds at sea.
