Tim the tortoise has found her way back home after disappearing for nearly a week. She was found in her own garden, exhausted, on Wednesday afternoon.
The intrepid reptilian wanderer had been missing for around five days.
Tim's owner, Maggie Talbot-Cull, told Express this afternoon: "Tim the tortoise has been found!"
Express was told that Ms Talbot-Cull had left the garden gate open, and this afternoon Tim was spotted "bang in the middle of the garden, exhausted!"
It's not known where Tim has been, or how she got back to her home garden at Jerbourg.

Ms Talbot-Cull told Express on Tuesday that she had spent the past four days searching for Tim, along with her family. Ms Talbot-Cull lives on the headland at Jerbourg and other relatives, friends and passers-by had also helped to look for Tim.
"We've searched and poked around. The grandchildren and I have been looking. She's really gone missing this time," she said.
Tim is an 85-year-old tortoise that was gifted to Ms Talbot-Cull when she was a young girl. Tim had lived for a few decades before a vet pointed out that she was in fact a girl. The family kept her name, Tim.
