Shrill cry (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

screech

'shrill cry' is the definition.
(a screech is loud or shrill cry)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for screech that I've seen before include "Terrifying sound" , "Cry raucously; type of owl" , "Yell" , "Outcry" , "Squeal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Mirror, the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Star Tribune.
