I have three I am unsure about.

4d) is this Avocet?

13a) I am thinking Arrestee?

[vakayu]

What are the clues?

[Taipei]

4d)bird turned over eggs etc. when disturbed
13a)a king was still checked

[boxtops]

4 yes - anagram of OVA + ETC

[bibblebub]

4d) yes - 'ova' reversed + anagram of 'etc'

13a) a r rested

[pixie373]

4 yes
13 arrested

[boxtops]

13 Arrested

Arrest - check
King - Ed(ward) - and the clue says "checked" past tense, so the answer's likely to end in ~ed.

[pixie373]

I was thinking
a king- a r
still-rested
checked -arrested

[Taipei]

Thanks both! The reason I thought "arrestee was because I was thinking 14d) pull on line, in a manner of speaking. might be email but I see now it's drawl

[boxtops]

I guess both are plausible, pixie!
