Noticed, spotted (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

espied

This clue is a double definition.

'noticed' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'spotted' is the second definition.
('espy' can be a synonym of 'spot')

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
