Tag geese wandering around river -- you won't find one laying this! (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
easter egg
'you won't find one laying this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'tag geese wandering around river' is the wordplay.
'wandering' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'river' becomes 'r'.
'tag'+'geese'='taggeese'
'taggeese' with letters rearranged gives 'easteegg'.
'easteegg' placed around 'r' is 'EASTER EGG'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for easter egg that I've seen before include "DVD bonus" , "Springtime confection" , "chocolate gift" , "Seasonal fare" , "Sweet for Spring festival" .)
