Started on this one last night, but have met 'gridlock' on the right hand side (12, 18 and 24). Must have something in the wrong order! Answer to 24 might help: Soaks after alcoholic drink becoming predatory males (I have KERET as 5 of the letters).

There is a species of falcon called a saker.
The male of the species is a sakeret.

That's very helpful, Rusty. I have now managed to make sense of the rest!
