Note woman has time for greedy creature (6)
I believe the answer is:
gannet
'greedy creature' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'note woman has time for' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'g' (musical note).
'woman' becomes 'ann' (woman's name).
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time for' becomes 'et' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'g'+'ann'+'et'='GANNET'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gannet that I've seen before include "A large diving sea-bird" , "guzzler?" , "Heavily built marine bird" , "Large diving fish" , "Gluttonous type" .)
