Those flying lowest? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owlets

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

'those' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'flying lowest?' is the wordplay.
'flying' indicates an anagram (letters fly around into new positions).
'lowest' anagrammed gives 'OWLETS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for owlets that I've seen before include "Young wise birds" , "Baby wise old birds" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
