| This was quite a tough word to clue well. Any reference to a species as a definition needs to make it clear that this is an example, by using "perhaps" or similar wording. Clues which used flier or high-flier alone as a definition scored poorly if at all. Many other clues were let down by poor surface readings. This left only a handful of clues worthy of points and I gave top marks to 27 and 40. |
