Name bird over meadow with no tail (5)
I believe the answer is:
title
'name' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bird over meadow with no tail' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'tit' (I've seen this before).
'over' says to put letters next to each other.
'meadow' becomes 'ley' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with no tail' means to remove the last letter.
'ley' with its last letter removed is 'le'.
'tit'+'le'='TITLE'
(Other definitions for title that I've seen before include "Lord, sir, doctor, for instance" , "What could be professor's" , "Caption; name" , "Right of ownership" , "Identifying name" .)
