Answers are place names that contain a bird.

Setter specifies CLUES ONLY

Ta.

5 A person who engages in persistent attacks on others 7
I've seen the clue about athletics, but still stuck

17 Sounds like an abbreviated Midlands County within both Yorkshire and Cumberland 6
I've seen the clue about cricket - but still stuck

52 The ferry crossing from here to Fleetwood takes less than 10 minutes 5 3-2-3
Have found the ferry destination (think similar to Ken Dodd's location), but thats only the 5,3 bit

37 Sounds like it is irregular, not the front or back 8

40 An informal term for a small person and a waterhole 9

26 Pitch, Vivien 10

22 Walk unsteadily, a point and a garden tool 10

56 Tamas Linder, computer engineer changed 11
I have an answer for this - an anagram of the first 2 words, except its only 10 letters and doesn't have the S in it

[bhg481]

52 - look for the full name of the starting point.

[Hazlinny]

26.Another word for pitch + think of an old film star.

22 Another word for walk unsteadily, a compass point + garden tool
(think Plymouth).

56 can be a House or Sand ......

[Tuvok]

26 - think I was on the right lines if its the Vivien with a tie to Tony Curtis

Will have a chance to look at lunch time

[Hazlinny]

40. Rhymes with Mitch and Bell

[jazzgirl]

46 also known as Speckled warbler

[jazzgirl]

56 not 46 !

[jazzgirl]

Maybe the letter count in 56 is a setter's error ?

[Hazlinny]

56. There is an answer with 11 letters (anagram) - Mr. Lewis, money-saving expert starts it.

[jazzgirl]

You are right Hazlinny :). in Wiltshire ?

[Hazlinny]

37. Old English type of collar folllowed by another team.

[Tuvok]

Thanks all

Just down to 5 + 17

Got answers for 52 and 22, but can't see the bird in the answer!

[Hazlinny]

22. Start from 4th letter in word
52. First 4 letters

[bhg481]

52 - I agree with you, adding the "on-sea" to fill the clue still doesn't include a bird. It's the only 10-minute ferry from Fleetwood, so it must be correct.

[Captain2]

bhg, the first word is a type of bird.

My grandparents used to holiday there every year. :))

[Captain2]

sorry a bird is the first 4 letters of the first word.

[bhg481]

Captain - thanks, I've never heard of it.

My brother-in-law lives there.

5 you want to look at what some athletic clubs last name are
17 is abrev for the county of Robin Hood but with a slight first letter change the two clues given were very good clues

[mallyh]

5 in the shetlands sounds like it could be named after a prince who now lives in america

[Tuvok]

as in ... jump jet!!!!

Still not sure of my answer for 22 - the compass point I've got is EN

Off to fathom no. 17
