Bird damaged rear fencing pole (9,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peregrine falcon

'bird' is the definition.
(I know that Peregrine Falcon is a bird)

'damaged rear fencing pole' is the wordplay.
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'rear'+'fencing'+'pole'='rearfencingpole'
'rearfencingpole' is an anagram of 'PEREGRINE FALCON'.

(Other definitions for peregrine falcon that I've seen before include "bird?" , "She kills small creatures" , "up in the air?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
