Clue Chain 3

[Hazlinny]

Miser has kindly asked me to start Chain 3 so here goes ...

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve.  The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.

My clue:  Lightly touch a seabird would indicate a design. (7)

Sorry, I got diverted by another thread.  I will stay on the same theme (but can't for the life of me think up a clue for Martin Chuzzlewit) :-

 

Small, torrid, shook up. (6,6)

Little Dorrit

[Canary42]

Yes, well done, Little Dorrit is correct. 😋

[Moorea7]

On one's own yet sounds as though it's a request to temporarily obtain an amount.  (8)

[Moorea7]

I have to go now so if anyone answers (and think it's correct) just carry on with next clue.  Should be looking in between 00.07/00.08 😊

Aussie bird missed her first special performance (4)

[Moorea7]

Finished earlier than i thought so   ...

In UK, we're not up on Aussie clues but

I'll have a wild guess at

Kiwi or Kiri though cannot parse.

 

[1ozzy]

Sorry, nope

[1ozzy]

I don't think it's an ozzy clue but it does utilise an ozzy bird😊

Gala(h)

Your turn now

[Moorea7]

Brain not too bright at this time 😩

Clue:  Cry like a child but there is a junior organization in the
brighter coloured sky.  (7)

[1ozzy]

That must be a pommy clue.

I'm confused 🤔

[Moorea7]

I'd have thought you might know of the

junior org.

[mallyh]

rainbow?

[Moorea7]

Sorry Mallyh - the organization has 2 letters.
