Gull-like bird — in water, normally (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tern

'gull-like bird' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in water normally' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'TERN' is hidden in the letters of 'water normally'.

(Other definitions for tern that I've seen before include "Rent out this gull" , "Seabird related to the gull" , "Winger" , "Gull-like seabird" , "Fork-tailed seabird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
