Duckling's dad (5)

I believe the answer is:

drake

(Other definitions for drake that I've seen before include "Plymouth bowler" , "Male duck - circumnavigator" , "Male bird" , "First Englishman to sail round the world" , "Aquatic bird" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Sun and the USA Today.
