He ducks! (6)
I believe the answer is:
drakes
'ducks' is the definition.
(drake is a kind of duck)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for drakes that I've seen is " Male ducks".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
