Description

(meaning: wings)

Bring the hands, palm outwards, fingers extended and touching above, to right and left in front of shoulders, hands same height; move them simultaneously to front and downwards, repeating motion, imitating the motion of wings; care must be taken to imitate closely.

Notes

The wings of small birds move rapidly; those of large ones slowly.

Tomkins description is to imitate motion of wings, which is very vague.
