The flyer rotates from Whale into Bird, passing through Side Star. This link can also be understood as two separate transitions: Whale → Side Star and Side Star → Bird.
Sometimes Side Star is held as a stable position before continuing elsewhere. However, when describing the elements of the Coindrop washing machine, the simplest interpretation is the continuous transition from Whale to Bird through Side Star.
