Shorebird from the pole (5)
I believe the answer is:
stilt
This clue is a double definition.
'shorebird' is the first definition.
(stilt is a kind of shorebird)
'pole' is the second definition.
(stilts are poles somebody walks on)
'from the' is the link.
(Other definitions for stilt that I've seen before include "Long-legged wader" , "Flier" , "Aid for walking tall" , "Supporting column driven into the ground - wading bird" , "laboured and unnatural in the past" .)
