Garden feature needed by kestrel, listen! (7)
I believe the answer is:
trellis
'garden feature' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'needed by kestrel listen' is the wordplay.
'needed by' indicates a hidden word (the solution letters are needed to write the clue).
'TRELLIS' is hidden within 'kestrel listen'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trellis that I've seen before include "Lattice structure" , "Light framework for climbing plants" , "latticework in the garden" , "Latticed frame" , "Garden climber support" .)
