Extend, as one's neck (5)

I believe the answer is:

crane

(Other definitions for crane that I've seen before include "Wading bird - lifting device" , "Bird; camera platform" , "Large long-necked wading bird" , "Stretch out (one's neck)" , "Wading bird - lifting apparatus" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
