Hi Strands fans. Today's puzzle baffled me at first, but it really shouldn't have. What hunts and pecks? Birds of prey, of course.
So I regret using a clue, because as soon as I had it was obvious. The clue revealed HAWK, and I quickly spotted VULTURE in the top left and FALCON diagonally underlining it a space apart.
That space was filled easily with the spangram of RAPTORS, which was a bit of a relief as I was previously looking for a way to expand "prey" into something longer without luck.
I found KESTREL along the left-hand side next, followed by CONDOR to its right. I then bagged EAGLE in the top-left which meant only OSPREY (the word that had me looking for "prey" as part of the spangram earlier) remained to complete the puzzle.
