A dialectal or archaic term for a bird or creature with luminescent or glowing features; possibly a firefly or glowworm.
From 'glow' (to emit light) + 'bard' (possibly from archaic or dialectal terms). This appears to be a rare or regional term with unclear etymology.
This mysterious word might come from folklore or regional British dialects—if it does refer to glowworms or fireflies, it shows how people in pre-industrial times created poetic names for creatures that seemed magical because they produced their own light!
