Deer picked up in video recordings (3)
I believe the answer is:
roe
'deer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'picked up in video recordings' is the wordplay.
'picked up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'eor' is hidden within 'video recordings'.
'eor' reversed gives 'ROE'.
(Other definitions for roe that I've seen before include "A mass of fish-eggs" , "Fish eggs; small deer" , "eg Caviare" , "shy animal" , "Swift runner" .)
