Wetland Word of the Week 15
For our 15th installment of wetland word of the week, we have chosen...
...flocht, a Scots word meaning 'bird on the wing'. It is related to another word, flochter, which means to allow yourself to feel joy freely, perhaps as a bird does while flying.
This lovely, little word evokes the floating that a bird's flight may appear as. Not like a swan coming into land then!
