124 залётная птица
разг.bird of pass age; stranger to these partsОднако человек, видимо, и сам понимал, что, как он ни замаскирован, ничто не скроет: он птица в этих краях залётная. (Г. Марков, Сибирь) — The man himself, though, realized only too well that, however good his camouflage, he could not conceal the fact that he was a stranger to these parts.
Нелишне заметить, что Наде исполнилось двадцать четыре года, что она хотя и не красавица, но всё же с печатью, так сказать, столичности на лице, казалась немножко залётной птицей в окружении более правильных и более, может быть, даже красивых, но всё же и более скромных северных лиц. (В. Солоухин, Урок телепатии) — For the sake of the story we must also know that Nadya was twenty-four years old and, if not a ravishing beauty, she was clearly a city girl, a bird of passage among these northern women whose features were perhaps more regular, even more beautiful, but certainly less striking.
