The Natural History of Pliny, Volume 2 (of 6)

Note 3032 — BOOK X. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF BIRDS.

John Bostock translation

Cuvier takes this to be the kestril, or Falco tinnunculus of Linnæus, and considers it to be synonymous with the cenchris, mentioned in c. 73, and in B. xxix. c. 6, though Pliny does not seem to be aware of the identity.
