I still don’t understand the use of “two-bit” in 24a.

Ah of course, thanks tatters. Extremely obvious in hindsight (as is often the case!)

Riversk, I think the answer refers to a sound rather than the creature that makes it (it's in Chambers) which consists of two parts.

3d - the only word that fits my letter pattern is an Indian antelope - can that be right?

If so, how is it parsed?

Yet another compound anagram. First word has a misprint.

Thanks HW, that just leaves the parsing of 1a which I have as a theme word.

Wordplay pretty straightforward - 3+3.

Unusual meanings of otherwise common words.
