On 34a, I thought it could go in the 4th word as another anagram indicator but wasn’t sure

These clues are really witty. Great delight when solving (not many yet). Looking forward to the rest. This a lesson in elegance that lesser setters could learn from

Can I have a hint for either of my two last ones; 43a and intersecting 36d.
Got all the thematic stuff, but stuck especially on Shakespeare one. Don’t know the letters to correct in these two.

Lumen, I feel obliged to help as there are birds involved in 36 D! The misprint is in the last word in the clue. You need another word for 'crows', birds. 'Soaring' leads to the usual.... The 'finally pass' is the usual device too...

43a is obscure all the way through.

Definition is first 3 words
Misprint in 7th word

Thanks.....struggling to think of another word for crow, but will continue. They are called craws where we come from.
They don’t warble, I do know that.

Got both now, thanks.
Shakey dominates Pash in Chambers, having entries 2 and 3!
I’m done really, but don’t see the misprint in 7d to complete the ‘clue’.
7d is about seabirds warbling....Warble needs to change I think.
