Gull with false front on abstract mural (6)
I believe the answer is:
fulmar
'gull' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'false front on abstract mural' is the wordplay.
'front' indicates taking the first letters.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'abstract' indicates an anagram.
The initial letter of 'false' is 'f'.
'mural' with letters rearranged gives 'ulmar'.
'f'+'ulmar'='FULMAR'
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fulmar that I've seen before include "Heavy short-tailed polar bird" , "Get an strange armful of this seabird" , "Bird of petrel family" , "Heavy short-tailed oceanic bird" , "Gull-like sea bird" .)
