You have already been given this answer ....

See bird from cut TER N ear headland
TERN

I

Razorbill is very good.
It would have made things easier if you had given the number of letters....

ladyalex. No 77 "see bird from cutter near headland" (9) I apologise for referring to you on RIDDLES by another name- association of ideas ! I still cannot see how the tern fits in with the apparent answer of Razorbill if that is the answer. Terns are terns no nine lettered ones and razorbills are Auks ? I must be missing something so please could you advise ?

It seems to me that there are two answers to this clue. I cannot see why Swordbill doesn't fit. It's a type of hummingbird. Razorbill is a type of auk. Can anybody see why one answer might have merit over the other?

[ladyalex]

I'm getting all confused here.
If there are nine letters in the answer, it cannot be TERN.
Razorbill is a good answer...razor=cutter and bill=headland

Cannot help but agree, though, that swordbill is pretty good too. Maybe they will accept both ?

Didn't see you refer to me on Riddles, so no apology necessary...it's only a game , etc etc....
