Amphibians in all directions taking tea! (5)
I believe the answer is:
newts
'amphibians' is the definition.
(newt is a kind of amphibian)
'all directions taking tea' is the wordplay.
'all directions' becomes 'news' (compass directions).
'taking' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tea' becomes 't' (I've seen this in other clues).
'news' placed around 't' is 'NEWTS'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for newts that I've seen before include "Small amphibians, efts" , "Kind of water lizards or efts" , "creatures" .)
