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)

Oooops, I did indeed drop off. Sorry folks. 

Carrot of course was correct, well done hazlinny.

By one of life's amazing coincidences, my store of clues included one which has since appeared - weird (my clue was a lot different of course, only the answer coincided).

I'll try and stay awake for a bit, once again sorry for slowing the thread down.  I better start replenishing my store, there's not many left.
