Note 277 — Chapter XXIII · THE HOBBY[273]
D. C. (Douglas Craven) Phillott translation
The hobby is not trained in the Panjab. In Albin’s Natural History of Birds (pub. 1738) it is stated that “The Fowlers, to catch these Hawks, take a Lark and having blinded her and fastened Lime-twigs to her legs, let her fly where they see the Hobby is, which striking at the Lark is entangled with the Lime-twigs.”
