The "second bird" rumour is based on the fact that the bird was finally
captured about 25km from the original sightings. You never know, but I rather
suspect there's just the one - the captured bird was same age as the bird in
the original sightings, and appears to be the same individual.

According to the article in The Guardian, there may be at least one other bird
out there. If so, does that make arriving by ship less likely? Or more?
