Bird in consequence rising over quarry (6)
I believe the answer is:
osprey
'bird' is the definition.
(osprey is a kind of bird)
'consequence rising over quarry' is the wordplay.
'consequence rising' becomes 'os' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'over' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'quarry' becomes 'prey' (synonyms).
'os'+'prey'='OSPREY'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for osprey that I've seen before include "The fishing eagle" , "Large bird preying on fish in inland waters" , "Bird of fine feather" , "Fish eagle" , "Large hawk, feeds on fish" .)
