Caught sight of (6)

I believe the answer is:

espied

'caught sight of' is the definition.
(espying is a kind of catching sight of)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for espied that I've seen before include "Caught sight of (archaic)" , "observed in literature" , "Glimpsed" , "Spotted; saw" , "Watched" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times, The Guardian, The Independent, the Newsday, The Mirror, The Telegraph and The Times.
