- W2069796737 abstract "DR. W. MALDWYN DAVIES's reference (NATURE, July 13, p. 55) to ‘gwas-y-neidr’—the Cymric equivalent of ‘ether's mon’—as the name for a dragonfly reminds me that ‘gwas-y-neidr’ is a not unusual folk-name for the yellow-hammer, although perhaps the bird is more often called ‘pen-felen’ (= yellow-head). In 1914 I was at Nevin, Carnarvonshire, where a man, about forty-five years of age, asked me if I thought that the ‘gwas-y-neidr’ was really poisonous. He went on to explain that as boys his companions and he always smashed the eggs of the yellow-hammer if they found a nest, and that when in winter they caught small birds in his father's farm-yard, the yellow-hammers were always killed with a stick, as it was considered dangerous to touch them with a naked hand. The birds had been hatched from eggs laid by adders and the serpentine markings on the eggs in the yellow-hammers' nests were evidence of their reptilian origin; markings which elsewhere have earned for the yellow-hammer the less sinister names of ‘writing master’ and ‘scribbling lark’." @default.
