Great Tit

Today's the day …………………….. to get in a spin

Very strong winds here today - and a lot of torrential downpours.  In fact the wind was blowing so hard that I actually went and took the flagpole down.  I had visions of it going like a missile through the sky and into the Solway Firth.

The propeller-like wings of this over-sized Great Tit (a birthday present for Will from Marc and Marie Claire) were spinning so fast that I thought he might take off too.  But apart from looking a bit shell-shocked, he managed to hold on and stay grounded.

But I did have a thought that - If only we could connect him up - he could be usefully generating electricity …………………….?
