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.

He told the BBC: "Thankfully no traffic was coming at the time, because it could have been catastrophic.''"

The sheep were returned safely after an hour of herding.
