Bird from Northern England (4)
I believe the answer is:
erne
'bird' is the definition.
(erne is a kind of bird)
'from northern england' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'ERNE' can be found hidden inside 'northern england'.
(Other definitions for erne that I've seen before include "Sea-eagle in an Irish lake" , "Great lake in Fermanagh with lots of islands" , "flyer in the main" , "Flier" , "A high-flier" .)
