Light’s thirteenth appearance in the Sunday Toughie slot but not unlucky for me. 5d took the most time to parse, but I think I have it now. It seemed like there were rather a lot of first, last, and alternate letter uses today. I did particularly enjoy the bilberry eating bird and the Hurricane, but those were just two of a long list of candidates.
I have tried to be a bit oblique with pics and vids, so I hope I haven’t given too much away. I will try and give a nudge or two if you ask.

Sunday Telegraph Cryptic No 3355 (Hints)
Hints and tips by Senf
A very good Sunday morning from Winnipeg where on Wednesday, after what seems to be the customary one hour delay for my flight from Heathrow to Calgary, my flight from Calgary to Winnipeg arrived 20 minutes early! However, definitely better than my ‘outbound’ journey two weeks earlier. The joys of air travel!
For me, and I stress for me,© Dada quite friendly with only, yes only, four anagrams (one partial), one lurker, and one homophone in a symmetric grid of 30 clues; with 15 hints ‘sprinkled’ throughout the grid you should/might be able to get some of the checkers to enable the solving of the unhinted clues. I hope you have your Crimson Tomes at hand!
