Grace the falcon
A falcon which had gone missing from a farm has been found.
Grace, a white gyr saker falcon, escaped from Marsh Farm in South Woodham Ferrers between 10.30am and 11am on Wednesday.
The 12-year-old bird of prey flew over the river in the direction of Rayleigh and Hullbridge but has now been found on the edge of a field not far away from Marsh Farm.
She has been returned to the farm.
