Anything covering wings of little bird? (5)
I believe the answer is:
owlet
'bird?' is the definition.
(owlet is a kind of bird)
'anything covering wings of little' is the wordplay.
'anything' becomes 'owt' (owt means anything in Northern English dialects).
'covering' indicates putting letters inside.
'wings of' means to remove the middle letters (letters on the two wings removed).
'little' with its middle removed is 'le'.
'owt' enclosing 'le' is 'OWLET'.
(Other definitions for owlet that I've seen before include "Young bird; moth" , "Young fly-by-night" , "Baby nocturnal raptor" , "Towel (anag)" , "Junior member of parliament" .)
