An incentive to the bird to visit your garden? (8)
I believe the answer is:
larkspur
'visit your garden?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'an incentive to the bird' is the wordplay.
'an incentive' becomes 'spur' (I've seen this before).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'the bird' becomes 'lark' (lark is a kind of bird**).
'spur' after 'lark' is 'LARKSPUR'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for larkspur that I've seen before include "it grows" , "Blue flower" , "Flower like a delphinium" , "Cultivated plant of the genus Delphinium" , "in bed!" .)
