[lessudden]

This is a different crossword! Until one has all the solutions (half of which are birds), one cannot work out where to place them on the grid. A bit of ingenuity is needed. Can anyone help please?

A few still to get:

Thematic solution eating partner's innards (9 letters) [begins with G]
One pundit's accepted game giving academic instructions (8) [begins with I]
Husband taking note during 365 days (10) [begins with H]
Rejoice with psalm on third Sunday after Easter (8) [begins with J]
Mother's view of the past. No thanks. (5) [beings with M]
"..., ... and away" for starters! (5) [begins with U]

Thank you very much for all your help!
