¿Qué significa cup open en el siguiente contexto?
The white stoat held to the bird's thigh with its teeth and the long claws of his forepaws, and whenever the buzzard's beak came forward to cup open his tail was over his head as he swung to the turns and somersaults of the hawk.
Gracias

(con el pico) abierto (listo para darle un picotazo)
La verdad es que parece que aquí hay algo mal expresado, pero lo que yo entiendo es que el buitre (o halcón) tiene el pico abierto "cupped open", listo para dar un picotazo. También entiendo que el armiño, zarandeado por el ave en vuelo, se ha hecho una bola en ese momento, y por eso tiene el rabo por encima de la cabeza.

: Nunca he visto usarse la expresión de "cupped open" tratándose de un pico de pájaro....
