Shot Wanderer

I heard a rumour today that a Wandering Albatross was shot by fisherman
off Sydney.  Apparrenty this was witnessed by birders on a pelagic.

I'm wondering if this was the same bird described by Roger McGovern in
his report on a recent trip but I spoke to a friend who was on the trip
and nothing was said about it being shot. Is this the same bird or are
we talking about something completely different?

Apparently NPWS is taking this very seriously but can anybody shed any
more light on this story.

Regards
