Clever little buggers eh?

A flock of cunning sheep is terrorising village gardeners after working out how to cross a cattle grid.

The sheep roll over the grate Commando-style to get out of their field and reach gardens in Marsden, West Yorkshire, where they munch their way though flowers, shrubs and vegetables.

Having had their fill, they then roll back over the grid and into the field.

Local councillor Dorothy Lindley said she had witnessed the astonishing manoeuvre.

"It is quite clever really. They get on their back or side and just roll over and over the metal grids," she said.

"Many of the sheep treat the village as their home but they are a big nuisance to villagers. They eat plants, vegetables and flowers in the gardens.

"What amazes us is that they are not frightened. When you try and move them on they look at you as if to say it is their patch and you are not right in the head."

A National Farmers' Union spokesman said: "Our members have not heard of this before."

But a National Sheep Association spokeswoman said: "I'm not surprised. Sheep have more brainpower than people are willing to give them credit for."
