Clue Chain 11

[Canary42]

Starting Clue Chain 11 - all welcome 😊

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.  If nobody has answered the clue within 30 minutes, the setter should post a further hint and so on until the clue is solved.

 

 

The first clue is from Dustypuss

Playing around with a bird the forest (8)

I have amused myself over the life of the Clue Chains (yes, sad I know) of building a storehouse of clues to use, and by one of those wonderful coincidences which add to the oddities of life, one of my examples is what I believe is the answer to this clue:-

PROMOTION.  ????

(P.S. My clue is quite similar too)
