Editor, with Bluebird following, puts the finishing touches to impressive constructions (8)
I believe the answer is:
edifices
'constructions' is the definition.
(edifice is a kind of construction)
'editor with bluebird following puts the finishing touches to impressive' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'editor' could be 'ed' (abbreviation) and 'ed' is found in the answer.
'following' could be 'f' (used when citing page numbers etc) and 'f' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edifices that I've seen before include "Large or imposing buildings" , "Buildings, structures" , "De-ices if found in buildings" .)
