Excellent hints, indeed! Many thanks, Kayakamina!
Just a hint for 20DOWN and I should be able to get 27ACROSS as well! For 25ACROSS, I now have "LIM?ED...trying to ork out the theme...

Many thanks for the assistance!
20d Bird and a crossing

To lead you to the theme-
20d is an anagram of 30d + theme
25a " 36d "
27a " 32d "
26d " 17a "
33a " 8a "
13d " 1d "


Note the title of the crossword and relate it to the preamble.

Good luck K
