I think I've finished but am left with one I can't parse however much I try:

30 A Rabbit and larger animal found on small islands back-to-back, eating tons. (7-3)

_ A _ K _ T _ - Y _ K

I'm pretty certain the answer must be YAKKETY-YAK (or some spelling of such) but I just can't get the clue to work.

Could someone explain it for me please?

YAK is the large animal. KEY (eating T for tons) is the small island. Might it be YEKKITY rather than YAKKITY, to gte the small islands back to back? Never seen it spelled like that.

I think the spelling must be YACKETY-YAK. It’s in Chambers. Cay and key are alternative spellings of a word for small island, and you reverse the first and drop a T for (ton) in the second, and add the Yak (animal) on the end, for yac ke(t)y yak.

It’s in Collins, not Chambers, my mistake

Thank you both. I had considered chrise's option but now I've seen quisling's I think he / she's got it!

Phew, what a relief!
