7. Trainingflight Espejo II 35 km

This morning at 8:45 we liberated the pigeons and they arrived as a mass in the loft.

This time we hadn't a visit by birds of prey, perhaps because we liberated an hour later, so they still their hunger somewhere else, but we aren't experts on this thats only guesses by us.

Anyway, we are very happy with this training race today. Only 3 pigeons missing now.

The liberation and the arrive of the pigeons you can see in that video here:

Confirm of the birds of prey

On the Trainingflights from Espejo, we always have 99% to 100% pigeons back in the last years.

Yesterday came a pigeon back that had a bruised chest and a broken leg. The other leg was very sore.
This pigeon will rest some days and when she is back healthy, she will going on racing.

That confirms once again to us, that we had a attacks from birds of prey on the last flight.

 Fortunately we living in an area where that kind of birds are very rare, but they increase faster than desired.

6. Trainingflight and bird of prey

Last night when we basket the pigeons we talked about the pigeons what kind of good condition they have, a silky plumage, a nice body and muscles with which they could cut rocks off with their wings. The pigeons had previously been a good form, but now they have to get the final touch.

We liberated the pigeons at 7:45 a.m. as planned and without orientation rounds they flown like a ball in the right direction.

But, when we arrived at 8:30 a.m. the loft, we got disappointment, there were just 150 pigeons in the loft and they came in small groups like 10-20 pigeons per group.

It was clear to us, that we got a visit from bird of pref in that race.

You saw the stress on the pigeons, they sit uneasily and looked first to the back and checked the things around...

...all this you can see in the video:



We repaired the web-cam from the exterior view of the loft. This web-camera is now online.

Tomorrow in the morning at 7:00 o´clock we train the pigeons around the loft, you can follow and watch us here on our 24 hour live web cameras.

We fill up the drinking trough with water and added electrolytes.
The pigeons are then again about an hour in the air without the flag, before they have settle down to a comfortable bath.
After the bath, you won´t believe it, they flow again.
The pigeons are in a top condition.

The first Training flight with 3 km was very good for the pigeons, unfortunately the technology has failed.

That with the live stream did not work out as we had planned it, and last but not least we forgot to press the record button on the camera to have a video of the liberation, because we focused on the live stream. The training flight was a training for us too, to test the live stream.
