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)

As Haras must be away from computer, I'll give a clue to keep the thread going  ...

It's sad to see Mr. Brooks and (briefly) his sheepdog. (10)

Just to say it's a good idea to have a follow-up clue ready to post if an answer is correct.😊
