Australian conservationist seen in Mayfair window (5)
I believe the answer is:
irwin
'australian conservationist' is the definition.
(Steve Irwin, 1962-2006)
'in mayfair window' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'IRWIN' is hidden in the letters of 'mayfair window'.
'seen' is the link.
(Another definition for irwin that I've seen is " Steve - - , crocodile hunter".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
