Eye-catching feature high-flyer goes round with minder at first (8)
I believe the answer is:
landmark
'eye-catching feature' is the definition.
'landmark' can be an answer for 'feature' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'eye-catching' bit.
'high-flyer goes round with minder at first' is the wordplay.
'high flyer' becomes 'lark' (lark is a kind of bird. I am not sure about the 'high' bit.).
'goes round' is an insertion indicator.
'with' becomes 'and'.
'at first' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'minder' is 'm'.
'and'+'m'='andm'
'lark' enclosing 'andm' is 'LANDMARK'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for landmark that I've seen before include "Shard, for example" , "Significant feature or event" , "Turning point, watershed" , "Easily identifiable monument, for example" , "Damn lark (anag.)" .)
