Phoebe is a moon of Saturn and a type of flycatcher (a bird). it it;s the answer i don't know where or how 'patience' would fit.

Phoebe was a character in one of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas (Yeomen of the guard) G & S also wrote an opera called Patience. Is it possible the setter has mixed up the two operas .

if the answer isn't wrong then Jazzgirl may be right - how about that for hedging my bets?

...and how about me clutching at straws

The site is called crossword help forum and not quiz forum and there is a bit difference

thank you Trevoe and jazzgirl. I am sure you are right with Phoebe. Now I only have 2 clues left to solve.
