Wood -- find some hyenas here (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ash

'wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some hyenas here' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ASH' is hidden within 'hyenas here'.

'find' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ash that I've seen before include "Variety of tree" , "Tree with winged seeds" , "Hard pale wood" , "Common tree" , "Get the residue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
