It appears from good information that sometimes the osprey falco haliaetus, Linn: is known to hawk the great pond at Frinsham. It darts down with great violence on a fish, so as to plunge itself quite under water. The man at the ale-house adjoining shot one as it was devouring its prey on the handle of a plough. This man shot also a sea-pie, ostralegus on the banks of his pond.
