Help please, with a couple of clues. The answers are either an island or a group of islands. These are from a written quiz and hence I do not have any letters.

1. Madonna's whale (7)

2. Mixed up giant roodent (10)

thanks, jws

Many thanks Mrs Grundy. I think you are right about Majorca or Minorca. I keep thinking of Madonna the singer but it may be another madonna.

jws, I may be wrong, but, isnt Madonna sometimes called Madge? Sounds like "maj" then orca for whale. Majorca?

I had the same idea. I've just been trawling through Wikipedia, without success. Thanks

You are one clever and helpful little bunny...

Take care
