What are the round ball like structure on the topmost line in power transmission lines?

The topmost conductor in a transmission line is called the guard conductor; it is an earthed (grounded) conductor that links the metal support towers. Its function is to protect the transmission lines against lightning strikes. The coloured balls that are sometimes seen distributed along the guard conductor are intended to make the lines easier to see in those areas where aeroplanes might be flying -they are often seen on lines in the vicinity of airfields. They are also used in areas, such as nature reserves, to make the lines visible to large birds.
