Hi - 3 - The anagram one how many words is this? Is it all one? Try this web site which helps with anagrams it is very good -

http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/index.html

[smouse]

I've tried that one and other ones.
I am presuming it is all the letters because there are other questions that are anagrams of just some of the words. Another long one is
Idle beadle NB be true (anag)

[smouse]

just done the idle beadle MB be true anagram thanks

[smouse]

and the other long anagram. Must have been brain dead last night - sorry for asking but still cant do the others

Thoughts on No 1. ARGUS is an anagram of SUGAR and refers to the eyes of a peacock's tail. It also applies to some breeds of pheasant. Can it also be aplied to some brees of GROUSE (whiskey)?

I have been looking for Grouse Argus (but no success yet)

[smouse]

Thanks crofter and I have found a butterfly called scotch argus

[crofter]

That's perfect!

[smouse]

and as you are on a roll I havent done these either
7. In doubt whether to add VAT
8. A dram returns before a point for our native variety (this is a scottish wildlife based quiz)
9. Obtained for good work
10. One hundred limbs for these fliers
11. Observe brats we hear

[crofter]

9. Tick(s)
10 Clegs (horseflies)

[crofter]

11. Sea Urchins

[crofter]

8. I think this is SCOTCH PINE
Dram = NIP reverse to get PIN (now add E)

The native vaiety of Pine will be SCOTCH!

6. Salmon = SON (Heir) around ALM ( "a lime" without the letters i &e)

[smouse]

2 to go
agiate idel wheel confusion which I could get wild eel out of but had he left over
and
in doubt whether to add VAT
Thanks so much for the help - hope I can return the favour one day

[smouse]

See Crofter I am trying (hubby says very trying) the in doubt VAT one is toad (it runs through)

[crofter]

I like TOAD
As for the last clue there is an "idle wheel" also called an idler, hence it may be an anagram of STIR + IDLER? or even IDLER + CHAOS? Good luck
