Jamie Gaiger, who captured the amazing scene, at around 10pm, said: "Lovely surprise on the way home.

"This is a quarter of what I experienced. It was beautiful."

The short clip shows the driver stopping in the road before at least nine deer venture across it to look at lights the other side.

After a couple of seconds of exploring the group seemed to get frightened and make a dash back to where they came from last Sunday.
