Good morrow ladies & gents.

Help with the following would be greatly appreciated.
????L? (6) Promise Penny a part

???I? B?T (5&3) Friar takes posh item to strike flying creature. Second word appears to be bat.

???D?W?T?R (10) Fluttering bird accelerating due to gravity alongside a river in Somerset perhaps. Appears to end in 'water' but can't find a Zommerzet river that fits!! Second letter may be R. Many thanks.

The third one looks like Bridgwater.

1st one looks like pledge - are all the letters defintley right?

Fruit Bat FR for friar u for posh and it

Hi Bullfrog,

From my days of yore filling in manifestos for coastal shipping, I thought that Bridgewater had an e in it but the net tells me it can be spelt both ways, thanks. However, what had it got to do with a fluttering bird?

Thanks bbc,

Your help with fruit bat now makes clue 1 as follows ??R?L?

Do you think it could be 'enroll' the en being part of penny and roll being a part? see clue. TA.

Hi Colin - its parole - I've looked it up and it is a promise (never knew that!)

Bridgwater - anagram of bird (fluttering) with g for gravity

Thanks bbc, YOU ARE A STAR!
