nosy parker

'in headwind' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'stickybeak gets parky blown' is the wordplay.
'stickybeak' becomes 'noser' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gets' indicates putting letters inside (gets can mean captures or absorbs).
'blown' indicates an anagram (to blow can mean to disrupt or scatter).
'parky' with letters rearranged gives 'ypark'.
'noser' going around 'ypark' is 'NOSY-PARKER'.

'about' acts as a link.
