Renowned old voyager gets the bird (5)
I believe the answer is:
drake
'bird' is the definition.
(drake is a kind of bird)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drake that I've seen before include "Elizabethan circumnavigator" , "Male bird" , "Navigator" , "adventurer from Devon" , "world traveller" .)
