That man Reagan gets the bird (5)
I believe the answer is:
heron
'the bird' is the definition.
(heron is a kind of bird)
'that man reagan' is the wordplay.
'that man' becomes 'he' ('he' refers to a man).
'reagan' becomes 'ron' (I've seen this in another clue).
'he'+'ron'='HERON'
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for heron that I've seen before include "Wading bird with long neck and legs" , "Big bird" , "Large British wading bird" , "Bird of the Rhone, strangely" , "Rhone (anag) - bird" .)
