pelican

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one with large bill' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'ruining a nice lp' is the wordplay.
'ruining' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'nice'+'lp'='anicelp'
'anicelp' with letters rearranged gives 'PELICAN'.

'after' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pelican that I've seen before include "Aquatic bird - type of road crossing" , "Seabird with a large pouched bill" , "Large bird with pouch in bill for storing fish" , "Bird with large pouched beak" , "Large water bird" .)
