Coming from peak, it evades a bird of prey (4)
I believe the answer is:
kite
'bird of prey' is the definition.
(kite is a kind of bird of prey)
'coming from peak it evades a' is the wordplay.
'coming from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'KITE' can be found hidden inside 'peak it evades a'.
(Other definitions for kite that I've seen before include "Flying toy; a quality mark" , "Soaring bird of prey" , "Light frame toy held on a string - bird of prey" , "Wind-borne frame" , "Raptor - flying toy" .)
