I’m afraid that I am binning this. At least one answer that is irreparably ambiguous (the potential variable letter is in an unch). “A list of a kind” (please, not again!) verifiable in Brewer’s (but only if you have the 20th edition - mine’s the 19th) along with some other frankly dull and not really cryptic clues. Maybe I’m just jaundiced - we spent most of the day on the Isle of May where puffin, Arctic Tern and other numbers are surging back after avian flu, travelling via the Bass Rock where it’s a similar story for the gannets. How could a crossword compete?!
