A very lightweight and cheap "pop-up" tent can be pretty effective if you have the space - this idea
courtesy of Jörg Wuttke at Schoeps (he talked about his use of it at a Rycote Weekend conference
that I was at last century). The cheaper the better in general as the material tends to be thinner.
Doesn't, of course, work if the wind is high enough to cause the tent to flap, but...
I used it the technique to record the York Symphony of Bells and Brass
(http://democracy.york.gov.uk/%28S%28ldbrg245jv1hgo551yoldb45%29%29/mgConvert2PDF.aspx?ID=886) from
the top of the Mansion House back in 2000.

at a pinch, you should be able to use the foam windscreens made for sm58 style

i can second that - in cases of emergency, a standard sm58 screen and a fuzzy one on top (such as
the "dead kitten" by røde) works ok'ish in low wind conditions.
but windscreens will be generally more effective the more space you have between screen and
microphone.
if you need a better solution, try and rent a professional rycote kit for a shotgun mic (it takes
some tape to fit the tetramic in the cradle, but for one day it should be ok).
best,
