A country road in West Oxfordshire was rammed with traffic this afternoon as more than 1000 sheep trotted from Aston to Ducklington.

Farmer Randal Strainge lead about 1250 of his fluffy flock down Aston Road to graze on the green grasses of Ducklington.

Mr Strainge, whose family have run Ducklington Farm for about 150 years, guided the flock in preparation for the spring.

A vehicle followed the group to make sure any stragglers made the two-mile journey.
