A regional English dialect variant of 'fieldfare' (Turdus pilaris), a large migratory thrush that arrives in Britain in autumn flocks from Scandinavia. The 'felty-' element may derive from Old English 'fealu' (fallow, pale) or simply reflect local sound-change; fieldfares are prized by birdwatchers for their bold grey-and-chestnut plumage.
- develin48%
A rare dialectal English name for the common swift (Apus apus), likely derived from 'devil' due to the bird's screaming call and near-constant aerial life. Regional variants include 'devil bird' and 'deviling.' Its swift-as-the-devil associations gave it a faintly ominous folkloric character in rural English communities.
