Those who spot our feathered friends in prepared bed rich with straw (4,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bird watchers

'those who spot our feathered friends' is the definition.
(people who spot birds)

'prepared bed rich with straw' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'bed'+'rich'='bedrich'
'bedrich' put after 'straw' is 'strawbedrich'.
'strawbedrich' with letters rearranged gives 'BIRD-WATCHERS'.

'in' is the link.
