Birds of prey inhabiting remoter nests (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ernes

'birds of prey' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'inhabiting remoter nests' is the wordplay.
'inhabiting' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ERNES' can be found hidden inside 'remoter nests'.

(Other definitions for ernes that I've seen before include "Certain birds" , "Irish lough's" , "Sea-eagles" , "sea eagles" , "They fly across the sea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
