Look for male bird (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gander

I believe this is a double definition.

'look' is the first definition.
(informal term for a look or glance)

'male bird' is the second definition.
(male goose)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for gander that I've seen before include "Butchers - goose" , "male member of the Anatidae family" , "A butcher's -- bird" , "Bird from Newfoundland airport" , "Glimpse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
