A wizard bird! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

merlin

This clue is a double definition.

'a wizard' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bird' is the second definition.
(merlin is a kind of bird)

(Other definitions for merlin that I've seen before include "small aggressive bird of prey" , "Legendary magician" , "Arthur's sorcerer" , "Magician of the Round Table" , "Magician of legend - falcon" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
