Notice eastern agent (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

espy

'notice' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'eastern agent' is the wordplay.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'agent' becomes 'spy' (spy is a kind of agent).
'e'+'spy'='ESPY'

(Other definitions for espy that I've seen before include "Perceive" , "Catch sight of (poetic)" , "Make out at a distance" , "Spot; observe" , "Behold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
