Note 233 — Chapter XX · THE EYESS SAKER FALCON
D. C. (Douglas Craven) Phillott translation
Bāqir-qara T. and Siyāh-sīnah P.: both words signify literally “black breast.” The Arab gentleman mentioned in note 215, page 54, informed me that in certain localities the saker nests on the bare ground. Vide also page 115, note 491. An Englishman told me that he once, in Wales, found two peregrine’s eggs laid on the bare open ground close to a cliff edge.
