Roughly 100 sheep spotted by passers-by and a farmer left them baffled when they noticed them forming a circle for ten minutes. One man said he noticed sheep forming a second circle of their own three fields down, but also only lasted ten minutes.
"I was quite taken aback. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I did see a dog worrying sheep nearby beforehand and the dog ran off round the hedge in a different field, so I don't know if they were discussing that," said photographer Russell Bird.
Farm manager Dan Seaborne said "I just think they've been fed with dry feed in that shape - you can get snacker feeders now and you tow behind a quad and it drops pellets on the ground. I would imagine that's what's happened."
