Thanks for all your entries and patience. I'm doing this on my phone on a bus to allow posting sooner so please ignore any typos or omissions. Perhaps predictably a pod of orcas appeared with a grampus thrown in for good measure - I appreciated jono including by another name. There were a couple of Definition By Examples that might have benefitted with an indicator such as perhaps and a couple of &lits with ! or ?
Particularly nice touches I like are raffles' main suspect and rhyming slang, paul's krill (but perhaps with a positional shift of "r" rather than a part ghost anagram with fit for a relative, also his Ice Queen, eider's v)ill(a, tyke's spot of the Balearics, aristo's threatening critter swarbrules' pointless prowess and eiders hands (but I would have liked to have seen something like severed included to show their separation).

The podium has chrise's spoonerism @ 36 3rd, wil taking silver with (I'll add the !) @ 11 with this week's winner geting

Thanks Ginge, and congrats Geting , would also have been my choice.
I agree with Ginge that wordplay shouldn’t lead to a synonym of the definition.
Cheers all.

After some rather disappointing results of late it's nice to do well again. Many thanks for the honour Ginge, and the prize. Some serious power in that blow there - reminds me of why I don't like to be in the water.

Congratulations Geting because it's not like Ginge to pick a homonym
Cheers Ginge for hosting and the choice of killer whale, I found it difficult to say the least
