One finding winter quarters abhorrent, I suspect (10)
I believe the answer is:
hibernator
'one finding winter quarters' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'abhorrent i suspect' is the wordplay.
'suspect' indicates an anagram (a suspicious or unusual spelling).
'abhorrent'+'i'='abhorrenti'
'abhorrenti' anagrammed gives 'HIBERNATOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
