Great Tits in Slow Motion: Mesmerising Video

Slow-Motion Tit Video Captures Flight Technique

The video below of great tits in motion has a hypnotic effect. Great tits fold their wings on the upstroke as they fly, rather than uniformly flapping their wings, in order to reduce drag and fly more efficiently. The great tit flying technique was captured by Remco Brand and Ansa Fiaz as part of the Flight Artists project at Wageningen University in Netherlands.
