Echo has been found and brought home

Echo, the missing Falcon from TWO Birds Experiences based at River Bourne Community Farm, has been found safe and sound in Wilton.

Emily and the team from TWO Birds shared the news with us last night that after a call from Wilton Carpets, they were finally reunited with Echo, who was sitting on top of Wilton Fire Station.

Once Echo saw Emily and partner, he flew straight down to the glove.

Echo went missing on Saturday. He is a Hybrid Falcon, in his case, a Peregrine Falcon crossed with an American Kestrel.

Two Bird Experience run educational and experience workshops at River Bourne Community Farm, where Echo flies from.

He flew off on Saturday, 10th June, at around 7 pm as part of his normal exercise routine on the Laverstock water meadows.

Their birds wear GPS trackers, but unfortunately, Echo had lost his tracker.

The team said, "Thank you SO much to Wilton Carpets for calling and waiting until we got there, and to everyone for persevering and believing.

"Echo caught sight of us and flew straight down to the glove. He is absolutely fine, healthy and on his way home for a well-deserved rest.

"He was found on top of Wilton Fire Station, which to us seemed a very fitting place to finally get him safe and sound."
