Arrivals with GPS Rings Quievrain 04/14/2024
A new season and so again some information about the GPS rings.
The first time at Quievrain on March 31, the program was not yet back on the laptop and last weekend when I drove to Quievrain myself, an error message appeared.
This problem was solved, and today I had four rings to put on.
So they completed a third Quievrain 111 km and came home quickly, a little less quickly than the specialists, but that doesn’t bother me.
Quievrain released at 9:00 a.m.
WSW wind and a pleasant flying temperature for the pigeons.
62 pigeons were at the start, the first pigeon in the loft flew about 6 minutes faster than the first pigeon here.
Two arrived simultaneously at 152 and 783.
Followed by the 786, which eventually crossed the antenna in second place.
We had to wait a while for the GPS pigeons; the rings were put on the legs of the 464-20, 811-22, 008-23, and 421-20.
