Clue Chain 3

[Hazlinny]

Miser has kindly asked me to start Chain 3 so here goes ...

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve.  The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.

My clue:  Lightly touch a seabird would indicate a design. (7)

the wordplay instructs you how to solve - there can be only one correct solution.

I'll keep an eye on the thread and confirm a correct solution

Correct, Moorea

If anybody is puzzled

'Sad' is an anagram indicator

'not' is a deletion indicator
