Birds spin and spread out (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sandpipers

'birds' is the definition.
(sandpiper is a kind of bird)

'spin and spread out' is the wordplay.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'spin' after 'spread' is 'spreadspin'.
'spreadspin' anagrammed gives 'SANDPIPERS'.
