A wallaby that went missing in County Tyrone earlier this week has been found safe and well.
Winnie leapt over a fence shortly after arriving at Glenpark Estate, close to Omagh, on Sunday afternoon.
Searches have been underway in the surrounding area ever since.
In an update on social media today (Thursday) Glenpark Estate owner Richard Beattie said:
“We have good news.”
Winnie is home safe & sound!”
“A massive THANK YOU to everyone who helped us and sent us messages of support while this rascal went on her little adventure”
“Special thanks to Tony Smith, Derek Storey, James & Nathan O Hagan and Davy Sinnamon who were key to helping us find Winnie and bring her home late last night.”
“Selina and I have been genuinely touched by the outpouring of support over the few days.”
“There are too many people to mention, but we appreciate all of the calls and messages, and also the media interest which helped highlight our plight.”
“We couldn’t be happier, and can whole heartedly assure you Winnie is none the worse after the great escape!”
