The shrike had no intention of being quiet, we hear (8)
I believe the answer is:
woodchat
'the shrike' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for woodchat that I've seen is " 18's [BIRD]".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
