Peter and Paul got me, I really thought the answer would be Bird! Thanks for another good Daily Solve :)

I had 27A as FENCE in a clear example of looking for a pun where there isn't one

The meaning of the stonehenge clue was totally lost on me. I thought it was maybe a band I hadn't heard of before or possibly a Spinal Tap reference. The actual meaning was much more obvious. Thanks Chris

Last Friday cwp for 2024 is the easiest of the year, perhaps? 52A and 66A took a little filling to get there.
