Bird having a paddle? (5)
I believe the answer is:
wader
'bird' is the definition.
(wader is a kind of bird)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wader that I've seen before include "Heron, say" , "Snipe maybe" , "Long-legged shore bird" , "Eg, sandpiper, flamingo" , "High waterproof boot" .)
