Pheasant from Sandringham on a ledge (5)
I believe the answer is:
monal
'pheasant' is the definition.
(I know that monal is a type of pheasant)
'from sandringham on a ledge' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MONAL' is hidden in the letters of 'sandringham on a ledge'.
(Another definition for monal that I've seen is " Brilliantly coloured pheasant".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
