Berganders. Which is a real bastard of a clue: another name for the sheldrake (type of duck), well known for pairing and their black and white plummage.

You're right, I was getting mixed up. They do scramble your brain sometimes these cryptic clues.

Re: Any cryptic minds out there
Here's a couple to keep you going
Money can provide for comic hero (6)
**N*** (I think this may begin with Y) I keep thinking of YIN and YEN
Native of one African country provided another (6)
***A**
The fifth letter of the first clue is the last letter of the second.

I keep thinking tswana here - I lived in Botswana and tswana is both the language and a tribe. Could be way off of course ;-)
