Bird near can with good beer (11)
I believe the answer is:
nightingale
'bird' is the definition.
(nightingale is a kind of bird)
'near can with good beer' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'near' could be 'nigh' (similar in meaning) and 'nigh' is located in the answer.
'can' could be 'tin' (synonyms) and 'tin' is found within the answer.
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is found in the answer.
'beer' could be 'ale' (type of beer) and 'ale' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nightingale that I've seen before include "Florence" , "Melodious songbird" , "See 13" , "Noted songbird" , "Woman of note" .)
