Bird making carrycot sheet messy (6-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oyster-catcher

'bird' is the definition.
(oyster catcher is a kind of bird)

'carrycot sheet messy' is the wordplay.
'messy' is an anagram indicator.
'carrycot'+'sheet'='carrycotsheet'
'carrycotsheet' anagrammed gives 'OYSTER-CATCHER'.

'making' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
