English flower placed in empty nest (4)
I believe the answer is:
tyne
'english flower' is the definition.
'tyne' can be an answer for 'flower' (river in the North East of England). I am not certain of the 'english' bit.
'placed in empty nest' is the wordplay.
'placed in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TYNE' is hidden within 'empty nest'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tyne that I've seen before include "Gateshead's river" , "North of England river" , "Flower" , "River of NE England" , "Northumbrian river" .)
