A Westport homeowner got an unexpected lunch time caller when her Ring Video Doorbell captured a flock of sheep descending on her doorstep while she was on holiday.

The footage, recorded on a Ring Video Doorbell at the home of Erin in Westport, shows sheep approaching the front door before gathering on the doorstep, keen to explore their new surroundings.

The Ring Video Doorbell alerted Erin to the unusual visitors, giving her an unexpected lunchtime laugh.

Erin was on holiday in Croatia when her Ring Video Doorbell sent a motion detection alert to her phone, notifying her of the unusual visitors in real-time. "We answered, and the sheep were there," said Erin. "We were all laughing, it was hilarious!"

“I couldn't believe it when I looked at my Ring app and saw a flock of sheep standing at my front door. They had broken out of a field nearby,” explained Erin, who has been a Ring customer for nearly six years. 

“We see lots of things in the Irish countryside, but this is the funniest thing we've encountered at our door so far.” 

Erin immediately shared the footage on a family WhatsApp group, where it got a great reaction.
