Hundreds of escaped sheep were pictured blocking a bypass in the early hours of the morning - after a country gate was left open.
Around 220 pregnant ewes were spotted on the A-road after they escaped.
Farmer Edward Albutt says he got a call around 3am on Sunday telling him half his flock were blocking the A38 bypass.
He is part of generational farmers who run the Tewkesbury Nature Reserve, Gloucestershire.

00:00If we do a quick count, there's got to be at least 50 or 60 sheep that way.
00:06Are you counting sheep?
00:08Yeah, I know, I'd rather be counting sheep.
00:12It's the right time of night for counting sheep.
00:20Yeah, there's got to be at least 200 sheep here.
00:23Because you can count 50 really easily coming past.
00:26And there's another 50 or 60 that way.
00:28And God knows how many are up that way.
00:30So it's got to be over 200.
00:33Do you think they've come through the estate from the fields out back?
00:36Yeah.
00:37They could have come actually through the estate, couldn't they?
00:39Rather than actually on the common land.
00:41So far, no.
