Crossword Genius

Crane, say, biding awkwardly in room (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wading bird

'crane say' is the definition.
(crane is a kind of wading bird)

'biding awkwardly in room' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' indicates an anagram.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'room' becomes 'ward' (I've seen this before).
'biding' with letters rearranged gives 'dingbi'.
'dingbi' put within 'ward' is 'WADING BIRD'.

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
