Tweeting adornments worn after battle (8)
I believe the answer is:
warbling
'tweeting' is the definition.
(both can mean birdsong)
'adornments worn after battle' is the wordplay.
'adornments worn' becomes 'bling' (informal term for jewellery).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'battle' becomes 'war' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bling' after 'war' is 'WARBLING'.
(Another definition for warbling that I've seen is " (Of birds) singing softly".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
