Stork may poke core virus (6)
I believe the answer is:
jabiru
'stork' is the definition.
(jabiru is a kind of stork)
'poke core virus' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'poke' could be 'jab' (synonyms) and 'jab' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'may' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for jabiru that I've seen is " Large stork".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
