Hi Everyone,
Well, it has happened, the first circle of the 2012 season has arrived. Located at Lurkley Hill in East Kennet, it is a 60-80ft formation in oilseed rape (canola). It was reported on the 15th of April, but did not appear on the internet until the 16th.
The pattern is a classical twelve petalled-flower, contained within a circle. Karen made a drawing of the formation yesterday - see below.
We have not flown this circle, since it was reported the weather in the UK has taken a turn for the worst. High winds and heavy rain are battering the British Isles as I type. We don't know what condition the circle will be in by the time the weather has taken its toll.
From the images available, it
seems that the circle may have been there a couple of days, certainly the crop
appears to not be very flat. This could be due to any number of reasons
including; phototropism (if the circle has indeed been there a couple of days),
or it could be an indicator that the immature plants are just not ready yet to
hold the impression of a formation. A first report indicates the formation is
messy inside, but there is, as yet, no other reports to compare it with.
Certainly, rapeseed formations are prone to damage, I've never seen a truly
pristine one. At this early stage we simply await more information.
However, you can see some pictures by using the link below.
Karen has a blog on the new circle ready to go and we'll let you know as soon as that is posted.
