Wild glee when trapping a bird of prey (5)
I believe the answer is:
eagle
'bird of prey' is the definition.
(eagle is a kind of bird of prey)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
(Other definitions for eagle that I've seen before include "might one be bald?" , "high-flier" , "Bird of prey, may be golden" , "Large bird of prey" , "Aglee (anag.)" .)
