Acted evasively, being surrounded by bushes (6)
I believe the answer is:
hedged
This clue is a double definition.
'acted evasively' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'surrounded by bushes' is the second definition.
'being' is the link.
(Other definitions for hedged that I've seen before include "Acted evasively" , "being naturally guarded" , "Avoided making a decision or giving a clear answer" , "Avoided giving direct answer, being bounded" , "Avoided giving direct answer, being fenced?" .)
