New place in green for bird (9,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peregrine falcon

'bird' is the definition.
(peregrine falcon is a kind of bird)

'new place in green for' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'place'+'in'+'green'+'for'='placeingreenfor'
'placeingreenfor' anagrammed gives 'PEREGRINE FALCON'.

(Other definitions for peregrine falcon that I've seen before include "bird?" , "She kills small creatures" , "up in the air?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
