Welcome to CLUE CHAIN - usually started each Monday around noon.

The idea is to start with a cryptic clue - set by me this week.

The first correct solver, judged by the setter, is then invited to offer their clue and so on.

The person who solves the first clue starts the next CLUE CHAIN - please confirm you will do this.

Once you have solved and then set a clue you cannot enter again, although you can still comment.

30 min time limit per clue and if not solved the setter must declare the clue 'open' and everybody can play again.

Game usually closes 18.00 GMT

This week's opening clue is:

Sign to give you a bejewelled twinkle? (6)

Good afternoon, anniec

Is it 'ingots'

Gemini?

Gemini iis right AQER - it now looks as though you are starting the chain again next week! Over to you! x

It would seem so. Remember you are allowed to have a go at this.

Mythical bird returns, short recording reveals Leno? (6)

Struggling here with roc, jay or j and variations thereof. Am I on the right lines?

Absolutely

The crow genus is known as...?

corvid?

I was just re-checking corbie - don't think I understand the short recording if this is right - am I being dense?
