Thank you Mamya. I had plover for that one and was really stuck on 88A, Nocturnal bird of prey (3) ?V?. All clear now though, and nearly finished.

Is it Punwee, Mamya?

Just need to get it sent in the closing date is fast approaching, birds aren't my forte, am more of an arachnid type of gal.

46(g) Easily caught like Katie Price? B?o?y

Trevor that has thrown a spanner in my works, I had 'W' as the third letter , back to the drawing board.
Punwee huh? must check that out, it rings a bell.

46 (g) now I think I see where I have got muddled, for that I put HOBBY as she does like to collect dubious specimens as a pastime. I will break out the tippex and start over. This is one devious puzzle, the compiler has a wicked sense of humour.

OK Mamya, a couple more clues

a) my eldest Niece is sometimes called this by her friends.
b) it rhymes with The Doobie Brothers (but only if you add the word smothers - which i like to do anyway)
best of luck

The answer to No. 1423(e) is emu-wren. Is this a small big bird or a big small one.

Right think I have that one sussed, it's a new term for my sheltered mind.

That just leaves me with

327(j) Mythical bird, sounds like a loud suspension. (4)

FU??

I dread to think, but will keep working at it.

I'm stuck on

244, "sounds like fuel used in internal combustion engines" i've got P?T??L
any ideas?
