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.
