Logging green tin badly (8)
I believe the answer is:
entering
'logging' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'green tin badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator (letters in the wrong order).
'green'+'tin'='greentin'
'greentin' is an anagram of 'ENTERING'.
(Other definitions for entering that I've seen before include "Coming in" , "Going/coming in" , "Going inside" , "Starting" .)
