Strands #382
Wetland patrol
Hi Strands fans.
Although I knew exactly what “Wetland patrol” referred to, I knew I was in trouble.
That meant I used no fewer than three clues in a row.
The first revealed IBIS, the second EGRET and the third STORK.
Granted, I should have found the last one under my own steam, but there we are.
The clue-aided answers had cleared enough of the board for me to simplify things by getting the spangram.
WADINGBIRD was spelt backwards from bottom to top of the board, and it neatly divided things in two.
First of all, I had to decode the anagram BILNLOSPO in the top right corner.
It was, of course, SPOONBILL.
Then I turned my attention to the two answers on the left-hand side.
That left just BITTERN in the top-left corner to complete a rather painful puzzle.
