First word is a bird. The second another word for acne.
The answer will leave you feeling tingly.

re 87: Chambers doesn't mention a bird at all for 'fiscal', so I think Kace is probably right, unless someone has a better idea.

I forgot that on this forum a reply to a message is always added at the end - so my reply about clue 87, was actually to jennifer's message 30.

There is one clue where I am probably missing something obvious, as nobody has asked about it:
71 Coveted host. (7,3,8) (To disturb commonplace people)
Looks as if anagram involved, but can't see what of.

71. I found answer as "flutter the dovecots". THE DOVECOTS is an anagram of first 2 words. The whole thing is a quotation about people.
87, I have Linnet. L (money) in net. By the way Fiscal is a bird in the shrike family.

Thanks jennifer -a hint about the anagrist for 71 would have been enough. Lexico does include the fiscal shrike, but as it's not in Chambers, I agree LINNET is more likely.

Saw a reference to 16 which had a possible answer I prefer anagram of last three words of clue using usual abbreviation for north
