Fish eater's very big quarry (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

osprey

'fish eater's' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'very big quarry' is the wordplay.
'very big' becomes 'os' (abbreviation for outsize).
'quarry' becomes 'prey' (synonyms).
'os'+'prey'='OSPREY'

(Other definitions for osprey that I've seen before include "Fish-eater" , "Large bird that preys on fish in inland waters" , "Spy roe (anag)" , "Marine bird of prey" , "Piscivorous creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
