The naughty flock wandered into an off-limits field through an open gate, and farmer Llyr Jones filmed the incredible moment he made his displeasure knownThis is the incredible - and rather amusing - moment a flock of sheep swarm back into their field after getting a telling off for sneaking into off-limits pastures.

The crafty ewes took advantage of an open gate to reach grass-rich pastures at Derwydd farm, Llanfihangel GM, Conwy, North Wales.

But farmer Llyr Jones knew exactly how the animals would react when they saw him and his dog, so he decided to film what happened next.

As soon as he tooted his quad bike horn, and uttered a few choice words, they flocked together before heading back through the gate in quick time.

The resulting viral video is rapidly proving a hit on social media.Llyr told the Daily Post: “As soon as they saw me on the hill with my bike and dog I knew what they would do.

“Sheep are cleverer than they are given credit for: they know when they have been naughty and when they are somewhere where they shouldn’t be.

“Within a few seconds they were heading back out into their own field.”

The 250 Welsh Mountain ewes are due to be scanned next week.

Llyr was keeping one field in reserve so that those carrying twin lambs could have plenty of juicy grass.
