Creature sounding like a buzzard, they say (5)
I believe the answer is:
horse
'creature' is the definition.
(type of animal)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for horse that I've seen before include "charger?" , "Shore (anag)" , "Equid" , "Equine animal" , "Domesticated animal" .)
