Songbird needing warmth wrapped in clothing (8)
I believe the answer is:
wheatear
'songbird' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'warmth wrapped in clothing' is the wordplay.
'warmth' becomes 'heat' ('heat' can be a synonym of 'warmth').
'wrapped in' is an insertion indicator.
'clothing' becomes 'wear' ('wear' can be a synonym of 'clothing'**).
'heat' placed inside 'wear' is 'WHEATEAR'.
'needing' is the link.
(Other definitions for wheatear that I've seen before include "singer" , "Migrant's passion" , "bird" , "Songbird" .)
