A Ring doorbell has captured footage of a herd of deer gathering on a driveway to graze on the front garden.
Lyn Tremaine, 64, bought her doorbell camera for this exact moment as deer often pass her house.
The motion sensor on her doorbell camera alerted Lyn to the herd’s presence, replacing her French Bulldogs, who used to bark when the deer came by.

The British Deer Society confirmed that the deer in the footage, captured in Plymouth, England, are fallow deer, one of just six species found in Britain.
Fallow deer are medium-sized animals that typically have a spotted coat.
They are most notably known for the noises the males make during the autumnal breeding season.
Males will make a loud belly belch to mark their territory and to try and secure a female over their rivals.
In the Ring footage, you can see a huge herd of deer dotted around Lyn’s driveway grazing on the patches of grass, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Lyn now has front-row seats to these brilliant visitors’ bizarre jaunts.
She said: “I have regular deer visits every night – sometimes just a few, other times over a hundred!
“They all stay together and follow each other, eating a lot of people’s plants on the way.

“That’s why I supply carrots, apples and deer pellet food.
“It’s usually all the mums with their young, but we do see the occasional young buck with them as you can see their antlers starting to grow.”
Technical adviser at The British Deer Society Charles Smith-Jones said: “The Estover area is well known for its fallow deer.
“This group has learned to be relaxed around humans, which is very unusual for wild deer as they typically don’t like it when humans or other animals get too close.
“Fallow deer tend to live in single-sex herds most of the year, which explains why the ones in Lyn’s video are mostly female.
“You can spot a buck because of its antlers, but male fallow deer will drop them in the spring and regrow them through the summer so they are ready to compete for breeding rights come the October rut!”
