22 A bird of passage

I am wanting number 8 to be "Bunting" but that is not exactly a "banner" and it is only 7 letters!

[bobbinwales]

8 would streamer count

[mallyh]

i suggested cardinal as in crossword solver it's a synonym for banner

[Oggie1943]

Sorry, Q.9 should be 7 letters, so LAPWING fits, but while Circuit = Lap, how do you get Wing from Pennon (a flag)?
Mallyh, am I being thick, how does your Q.12 answer NODDY relate to birds?
No answer yet to Q10. which might be ?????inch or ?????foot
