I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Fifteensquared have:

A (from clue text) + VO [i] CE (as a verb = state, as in “to voice one’s opinion”) without the I (Roman numeral for one), then the last letter (ultimately) of [sho] T . Winger = creature that flies on wings, in this case a wetland bird.
