Merleta

Brasão de armas de Dundalk

Uma merleta é uma ave mítica usada em heráldica. As merletas são similares às andorinhas mas têm tufos de penas em vez de patas.

A incapacidade da merleta de aterrar é vista como símbolo da constante busca pela sabedoria, fazendo por essa razão parte dos brasões de muitas instituições educativas do Reino Unido.
