A homeowner was left stunned after a motion alert from her Ring doorbell revealed a cow standing in her driveway.

Leanne Cross, 36, from Silsden, West Yorkshire, said the unusual moment happened while she was at work.

She first realised something was wrong when her phone flagged movement outside her home, but nothing could have prepared her for what she saw.

The footage showed a cow calmly standing right on her driveway.

Leanne said: 'My camera said motion detected when I was at work and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what was at my door.'

She confirmed the animal was not hers and said the incident on December 1, 2021 was entirely unexpected.

The cow was later identified as belonging to a nearby farm, which had reportedly broken through a fence and wandered off into the area.

She added that nothing like this has ever happened before. 

It's not the first time a Ring doorbell has caught a misbehaving animal on camera.

A family in Boxley, Kent captured a young woodpecker started trying to 'ring' their doorbell two years ago.

Joanne and Paul Jones, alongside their nine-year-old son Leo, have affectionately named the adorable bird 'Woody' after the infamous cartoon character, Woody Woodpecker.

The Jones said: 'We've seen him around lots of times on our bird feeders. They had run out so I think he was asking us to top them up. We all thought it was very funny and a bit cheeky!'

And another homeowner shared the surprising moment that their grey American Bully known as Bruce was pushing her Ring doorbell.

In the adorable video, which went viral at the time, Bruce was seen excitedly panting as he jumps up towards the bell.

He then manages to paw the button and triggers the doorbell noise, to which he hilariously tilts his head seemingly in time.

After the ringing stops, Bruce stares directly at the camera recording the whole exchange before barking.
