They are not full so large as the Tiercell Gentle, though some men do write otherwise of them, they are red plumed vnder the wing, strong armed with long talons & stretchers. They are very ventrous vpon all kind of fowles, and will flie at any game that the Haggart doth. With this Tartarot, or Barbary Falcon, and the Haggart also, you may flée all May and Iune, for they are Hawkes that are very slacke in mew∣ing at the first, but when they once beginne, they mew & shedd their feathers very fast.
