Only just started this, didn't have time yesterday. Mind not yet fully awake.

Could you help please with:
Blue feathers retained by landfill sites. (4,2,3,5) Don't have any letters

Is it an anagram? I don't want the answer. I just need a bit more of a clue

Best of the bunch? Pick of the flock?

[dannyk13]

Think of another word for feathers and a tip

[Tilly2]

Down in the dumps?

[dannyk13]

Yes

[Tilly2]

Thank you, danny. I think I need to leave it a while. Obviously, not functioning properly.

So far have managed 'nuts in may', 'lay on', 'orgiastic' and 'writhe'. The 'You must be Eve!' is driving me mad. Can it possibly just be second person?

[dannyk13]

Sorry Tilly I don't do the guardian. If you have any clues I'm always willing to try to help.

Madam, I'm Adam?

[Tilly2]

Oh, sorry danny. As you answered so quickly, I thought you must have completed this crossword. Mustn't make assumptions.

So 9d 'You must be Eve!' (6,6)
?e???? ???s?n

[dannyk13]

Second person ( double meaning you being second person in grammar and Eve being the second person)

[sandyRoe]

second person?

[Tilly2]

Thank you both.
