Bird’s large victim (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

osprey

'bird's' is the definition.
(osprey is a kind of bird)

'large victim' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'os'.
'victim' becomes 'prey' (prey is a kind of victim).
'os'+'prey'='OSPREY'

(Other definitions for osprey that I've seen before include "Large bird that fishes inland waters" , "Spy roe (anag)" , "Fish-eater" , "Fish-eating raptor" , "Large fish-eating bird of prey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
