Clamber about on branch (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

climb

'clamber' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'about on branch' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa'**).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'branch' becomes 'limb' (I've seen this before).
'c'+'limb'='CLIMB'

(Other definitions for climb that I've seen before include "Rise, mount" , "showing the way up" , "Ascend - ascent" , "Ascend, scale" , "Move upwards, ascend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
