Bird with speed making turn to catch bat (8)
I believe the answer is:
whitecap
'catch bat' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'bird with speed making turn' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'with' is 'whit' which is within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for whitecap that I've seen before include "has one wave" , "Crested wave" , "American vigilante" , "Redstart" , "A mountain" .)
