Range and district reported in flier (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kookaburra

'flier' is the definition.
(kookaburra is a kind of birdanimal)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for kookaburra that I've seen before include "Australian bird" , "Strident Australian" , "Large kingfisher (aka laughing jackass)" , "He may be laughing!" , "Australian kingfisher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
