Eventually I had a call from the Chairman of the London records committee, Bob Watts, saying he'd be happy to hook up with me, agree on the bird's condition as 'good-to-go', take the shearwater off my hands and release it somewhere along the Inner Thames. Birdline U.K. Ltd. Reg. The area where the shearwater was left consisted of ornamental woody shrubs and other exotica. What had happened? Internet sites to assist with planning trip routes and timing, Tide timetables - essential for coastal wader watching. I posted messages on BirdGuides, the London Birders Wikipedia sightings page and the London Birders Yahoo Group as to the current situation. It looked as though the bird had simply vanished. On reaching home I transferred the bird into a cardboard box with a small dish of fresh water and placed it in the relative warmth and quiet of the bottom of my airing cupboard, where it slept soundly for a couple of hours. After a flurry of photographs were taken it flew down onto the Thames, gathered its senses, and started drifting strongly downstream (the right direction) on an ebbing tide, while picking at the surface of the water at tiny food items.
