Another excellent themed puzzle by Virgilius with almost every answer or clue having some reference to birds. Solving time, 21 mins.

I have been blogging here on FT crossword every Tuesday for the past six months. Usually, as my readers will know, I have been completing or very nearly completing the day’s grid. But this puzzle proved to be quite difficult. My confidence was almost shaken, for 30 minutes after I started I had only a handful of answers. Are the clues really hard? Or am I out of sorts? Let me put down the answers I have got and return to the grid. I am not sure if I will be back here, though! Perhaps Geoff and others will come to my rescue.
