I'm adding a clue that I'm not sure about,, having
finished the puzzle. 46 Ac is:- "What mad chap
sees then does for Exmoor fauna, say". (3,4)
I have RED DEER as the answer, but cannot see
where the mad chap comes into it.

Thanks a lot, Mamya. Didn't see that one - I hate
putting answers in without seeing the complete
construction. A very sneaky clue!
