Excellent - just 21a to go!

And the clue is!!!

I have Fair game

I've managed all except 1a 'scavenging cheetah and hyena seonds only behind 15 - or minute?'

I think it's catchy (c-t-h-) but don't understand why.

'scavenging cheetah and hyena seconds only'
gives the last 3 letters chy (2nd letters of - scavenging cheetah, hyena)

behind 15 - is the answer to 15 Cat(or similar)?

minute - catchy? beats me!!

1a titchy (minute) - second letters of sCavenging cHeetah hYena coming after (behind) 15 (bird) = tit

if 15 is a bird (or a breast)then then the answer might be Titchy!

Thank you both. I had chatter for 1d, which is obviously wrong:

15 16 needs time to go on (7)

(15, 16 being birdsong)

twitter?
