Is it me or is the parsing really obscure? Nice view? Some parts are like that. 6. Is the answer a way of saying a shortening of a sea? Don't want to give too much away. Also, if I have the right answer, how do I get the last letter in 'make sound of one bird or another' 4.

It's not you... I don't understand that answer, or 1a:-(

Double def, to boast and a black bird....

Ah that's a relief. Did you mean 9ac? I can't see that one either!

Yes it is what the sea is generally called.

It relates to the last 5 letters of of what you are filling in.

On my last clue although can't see the parsing for some of the others. Found some of these really obscure. Potential share from peacemaker, that's how this ends 5. I have 3 crossing letters but can't fill in the the other 2. Any help please?

Thanks polly1

I read 23d as “what you could see from Nice” and 26d as the name of one bird and the sound made by another (farmyard) bird.

Eventually managed that corner but any hints for 19D?

23 down: You need to pronounce the first word of the clue differently

I across is a biblical reference.

Can anyone help with 19down - what is the definition, please?
