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)

👍 I need to hone my clue writing skills.

Nothing wrong with them - better than mine 😊 I'll leave this clue for the day-shift and whoever solves it can post the next one as I'll probably be asleep.

Sounds as though they want the desperate man to warble but he's happier moving to the rhythm.  (7)
