Flier for magician (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

merlin

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'flier' is the first definition.
(merlin is a kind of birdanimal)

'magician' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for merlin that I've seen before include "Raptor - wizard" , "Small falcon; wizard" , "one that cast a spell in Arthur's court" , "Arthur's adviser" , "Camelot's magician or kind of falcon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
