Range and district reported in flier (10)
I believe the answer is:
kookaburra
'flier' is the definition.
(kookaburra is a kind of birdanimal)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
(Other definitions for kookaburra that I've seen before include "Australian bird" , "Strident Australian" , "Large kingfisher (aka laughing jackass)" , "He may be laughing!" , "Australian kingfisher" .)
