Is it normal that in fairly calm conditions, my wind direction indicator moves, but the anemometer doesn't indicate a speed. I assume this is because the minimum speed that will move my windcups is 1 mph, but a lesser breeze can affect the direction indicator.

Or is my anemometer in need of an adjustment?

I've had that a couple of times.

Was a Robin purched on top of the Windvane.

And he was there for about 5mins just spinning round.
Surprised it didnt get dizzy....
