Trek less confusing for flighty hunters (8)
I believe the answer is:
kestrels
'flighty hunters' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'trek less confusing' is the wordplay.
'confusing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trek'+'less'='trekless'
'trekless' is an anagram of 'KESTRELS'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kestrels that I've seen before include "Birds of prey" , "Small falcons" , "Elk rests awkwardly on the birds" .)
