Duck found in a road bordering shopping precinct (7)
I believe the answer is:
mallard
'duck' is the definition.
(mallard is a kind of duck)
'a road bordering shopping precinct' is the wordplay.
'road' becomes 'rd' (abbreviation).
'bordering' says to put letters next to each other.
'shopping precinct' becomes 'mall' (shopping mall).
'a'+'rd'='ard'
'ard' put after 'mall' is 'MALLARD'.
'found in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for mallard that I've seen before include "Ancestor of all domestic ducks" , "Oldest breed of duck" , "Type of duck - world speed record holding steam engine (1938)" , "Engine holding the world speed record for a steam locomotive, set at 123mph in 1938" , "Kind of duck" .)
