Game character atop Crib Goch? (9)
I believe the answer is:
partridge
'game' is the definition.
(game bird)
'character atop crib goch?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'character' could be 'part' (a part in a play) and 'part' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ridge' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for partridge that I've seen before include "1st" , "Animal" , "Widespread bird" , "Flighty type" , "Game bird (in a pear tree?)" .)
