2D. Once rendered first aid to a beasts 5 across, we hear: A?D?O????
12A. Swimmers Hairstyle : M---E-
17A. Playing them,Fish very shortly netted?:
????o?n?
17D Little bird flags : ??N?I?G

17d bunting

2d Androcles (took a thorn out of a lion's foot)

Is 5a PORE? That would fit with "we hear" (unless you're a Scot)

Thanks mate!
I now assume that the other answers are:-
12A - MULLET
17A - BASSOONS

17 A is Bassoons

No 5A is "Footpad"
Fits with "Lion's Paw"

Jomac Think you have the wrong crossword for 5(a).
Can't see POUR anyway.

Joker, I haven't got the crossword at all. I was just guessing that the answer to the other clue mentioned might a homophone of "paw". I was wrong.

Sorry. Missed out "be" in that entry.
