coloured white ; near the tip was a brown 
bar above an inch in breadth, above that 
another half an inch broad, and above these 
each feather had a spot upon it in the mid- 
dle, mimicking, when spread, a third bar; 
the two outer feathers on each side are mark- 
ed with a few irregular spots of brown on 
the outer webs, almost the whole of their 
length. This bird was less than the former, 
measuring only one foot ten inches." 
The specimen described by Pennant had 
the extreme half of the tail brown, tipt with 
dirty white. 
Two of these rare and beautiful birds 
were taken in the month of November, 1815, 
on the warren belonging to Mr. Robert 
Scales, of Beechamwell, near SwafFham, in 
the county of Norfolk, and are now alive in 
his possession. 
The Rough-legged Falcon is a native of 
the more Northern parts, and is rarely met 
with in England.
