Birds from Inverness (5)
I believe the answer is:
ernes
'birds' is the definition.
(erne is a kind of bird)
'from inverness' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'ERNES' can be found hidden inside 'inverness'.
(Other definitions for ernes that I've seen before include "Certain birds" , "Irish lough's" , "sea eagles" , "Sea-eagles" , "They fly across the sea" .)
