Low-flying predator (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owl

'predator' is the definition.
(owl is a kind of predator)

'low-flying' is the wordplay.
'flying' indicates an anagram.
'low' with letters rearranged gives 'OWL'.

(Other definitions for owl that I've seen before include "Night hunter" , "Traditionally wise bird" , "Member of Parliament" , "Night person" , "One flying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Mirror.
