Name bird by meadow with no tail (5)
I believe the answer is:
title
'name' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bird by meadow with no tail' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'tit' (I've seen this before).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'meadow' becomes 'ley' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with no tail' means to remove the last letter.
'ley' with its last letter taken off is 'le'.
'tit'+'le'='TITLE'
(Other definitions for title that I've seen before include "The name of a work of art or book" , "Name of, eg, book" , "Book's name" , "Appellation of rank" , "Document showing legal right to possess a property" .)
