Sticky places? (5)
I believe the answer is:
nests
'sticky places?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for nests that I've seen before include "Lodges" , "Eyries" , "Settles comfortably into, as birds do" , "Sets of small tables that fit closely together" , "Bird houses" .)
