Find sea eagle in another nest (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erne

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'find sea eagle' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'in another nest' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ERNE' can be found hidden inside 'another nest'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for erne that I've seen before include "Sea bird: lough in Ulster" , "River and lake of the North" , "White-tailed eagle" , "Lough of the North" , "European sea eagle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
