Bird seen in a corner? (4)
I believe the answer is:
rook
This clue might be a double definition.
'bird' is the first definition.
(rook is a kind of bird)
'a corner?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'seen in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rook that I've seen before include "embattled man" , "A bird; overcharge" , "Ringing in the ears" , "Do < cornerpiece" , "Bird; playing piece" .)
