21d is it covert - not sure why
I have 'forest' for 21 down. I agree, very sloppy setting this week.
21d I was thinking of 'secret forest/ Nottingham Forest'... but 'covert' (where game birds are trapped/bred) is much better!

Thanks a lot. Glad that I'm not the only one to notice the weak/sloppy clues.
The pigeon one has suggestions on another thread, it's suggested that the Pigeon is the emblem of Provence - province is the UK interpretation, or Northern Ireland is a province of the UK and is big on pigeons. Not my answer so I claim no credit, but I hope this helps!
Chambers- covert, a cover for game.
I agree with your other answers but there are a few dodgy clues.

Thanks everyone.
1a is PROVINCE
Province = territory
British slang: It's not my pigeon = It's not my territory.
2 Down should read 'Near to disaster', and 22 Down 'articles' not article'.
