Bird leading hikers astray (6)
I believe the answer is:
shrike
'bird leading' is the definition.
'shrike' can be an answer for 'bird' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'leading' bit.
'hikers astray' is the wordplay.
'astray' indicates an anagram.
'hikers' with letters rearranged gives 'SHRIKE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shrike that I've seen before include "Shriek like kind of bird" , "Butcher bird" , "Predatory songbird" , "Butcherbird" , "Songbird with a heavy hooked bill" .)
