Large bird in lake, one tucking into nut (7)
I believe the answer is:
pelican
'large bird' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'lake one tucking into nut' is the wordplay.
'lake' becomes 'L' (geographical abbreviation).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'tucking into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'nut' becomes 'pecan' (type of nut).
'l'+'i'='li'
'li' inserted inside 'pecan' is 'PELICAN'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for pelican that I've seen before include "Bird's" , "Large aquatic bird" , "The large bird is in place" , "one with huge bill" , "Bird with large pouched beak" .)
