A FLOCK of sheep has taken over a city park.
Stunned residents near Queens Park, Brighton, awoke this morning to find the woolly animals in The Quiet Garden.
A Brighton and Hove City Council shepherd and his sheep dog were soon on the scene to herd the animals from the park.
How the sheep from Tenantry Down managed to escape remains a mystery. However, a council spokesman is set to provide an update this afternoon.
Queens Park Sheep 29 March
Drone footage shows the sheep enjoying the scented garden near the Grade II listed Clock Tower.
Delighted residents looked on as the animals enjoyed the unusually warm March morning before the shepherd and his black border collie herded the sheep into the back of a trailer.
In February, a huge flock were caught on video bundling along the road and pavement in Pelham Rise, Peacehaven.
The animals brought cars to a halt as they swarmed around the double-decker number 14 bus.
