Beast has found a tortoise in the garden. It's an active little thing, but we have caged it and given it lettuce and water, and I've been calling local vets and the Norfolk Tortoise Club to see if we can locate an owner. It is peering mournfully through the mesh.

I have no mournful tortoise icon, alas.

Edit: I have taken our shelly visitor to the vet. They will scan him/her (how does one tell?) for possible chip, and if none is found the receptionist, who was very excited to receive the tortoise, will care for it until somehow the owner turns up. I shall keep an eye open for Wanted posters.

An escapee tortoise! I wonder if he was out there feeling the rush of cool air & freedom blow through his ,,, shell as he wandered off to adventure and that’s why he looks sad now? ;) But seriously thank goodness you all found him before he tried to cross a major road or something. Hopefully the owner turns up!

I don't know if it would have made it to the road, but more likely it could have wandered on to the building site next door, which does not seem like a good idea.
