Hunter concealed in middle of ox-bow lake (3)
I believe the answer is:
owl
'hunter concealed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'middle of ox-bow lake' is the wordplay.
'middle of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer is somewhere in the middle of the clue).
'OWL' is hidden in the letters of 'ox bow lake'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for owl that I've seen before include "Member of Parliament" , "Bird of prey with front-facing eyes" , "Solemn person" , "One swoops" , "Night hunter" .)
