Zoo thanks public after escaped barn owl found

Echo was found on Sunday, after flying away from a birds of prey display on Wednesday

A barn owl that escaped from Dudley Zoo has been found.

Echo, who flew from the castle courtyard last week during a birds of prey display, was found in Silver Jubilee Park in Coseley on Sunday.

Barn owls have a distinctive heart-shaped white face, white chest and a mottled grey and golden back and wings.

The zoo wrote: "A huge thank you to the thousands of you who shared her story over the last few days and kept your eyes peeled for our lovely owl - we couldn't have done it without your help."
