Crossword Genius

Nervous type in a hide, perhaps? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twitcher

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'nervous type' is the first definition.
(someone who twitches)

'in a hide perhaps?' is the second definition.
(hide can mean a shelter used by birdwatchers)

(Other definitions for twitcher that I've seen before include "Name for a keen bird-watcher" , "Measure; creep" , "Dedicated birdwatcher" , "Rare bird spotter" , "pursuing hobby?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
