al colgar dando vueltas al unísono
Creo que Robert es el que tiene más clara la imagen.
Ahora veo que voy a tener que revisar mi otra respuesta, la de "tumble sideways"...
La idea es que el armiño está aferrado a la pata del halcón, o el aguilucho, y conforme este "vuela", entre cayendo en picado y debatiéndose por mantener un equilibrio precario en el aire, ambos animales se debaten en un "remolino"...
Por ahí va la cosa, realmente.
Saludos.
