Bird of prey is a high flyer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kite

I believe this is a double definition.

'bird of prey' is the first definition.
(kite is a kind of bird of prey)

'a high flyer' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for kite that I've seen before include "aeroplane" , "Toy that flies on end of string" , "Flying toy on a string" , "One's flown" , "Light frame toy held on a string - bird of prey" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
