Update..

Just a reminder that we are busy working on our new website and hope to have it up and running soon. We have added new photographs to the archives. Painstakingly scanned, and cleaned up from old negatives and transparencies. Our image library will be a good tool of researchers, and enthusiasts. We felt that the existing website did not reflect the material that we actually hold. Some of the images have never been seen before. There will be more content on the new website, and regular blogs. The new website will be very different and we hope you will like it. More info soon.

A reminder that the new 2016 crop circle calendar will be available in July. Last year many people were disappointed not to have a copy as we sold out. The calendar is becoming very popular, so we advise people to buy their copies as soon as possible this year. If we can print more this year we will, but again this will depend on funds. At the moment we still plan to have a limited print run.

Help us us raise funds for 2015..

MAKE A DONATION Of £15.00-£100.00.

If you can afford more, that would be great! But anything is appriciated. We are in a position so far to take one photographic flight in the near future.

Thank you to everyone who has made a donation to our flight fund recently. At some point in the near future with our subscribers help, we hope to take to the air to photograph this years crop circles. The season has started early really with crop circles in very immature crop. So it seems the circle makers are in a hurry to get those circles out there.

It would be great if all our reqular donaters could make a donation at this moment in time.

You can also send a donation via the post. Please note, we can only accept cheques in GBP, drawn on a British bank. Please make cheques payable to

Thank you

All our work recording the crop circles is self-financed. The yearly cost of flights over the circles alone runs into many thousands of pounds. A flight costs between £400-£800. The sale of our photographs, Year Books and other items via our online shop helps to offset some of that cost, but with increasing overheads across the board of our activities it is becoming more and more difficult to find the finance we need to record the circles.

If you feel that you would like to make a donation towards our ongoing recording of the crop circles you can make a donation through our online shop. We would gratefully receive anything that you consider appropriate, no matter how small the amount.

Please Support Us! How you Can Help...

Please help us raise money for our flights to record the crop circles in the UK...

We have always been committed to providing the best quality crop circle photography anywhere. Not only as a record of the phenomenon as it unfolds, but also as a legacy for future generations. High quality images are essential for the future and not only will hold more information, but will also show the magnificence of the crop circles in the landscape and hopefully record the majesty and beauty of the circles for generations who were not there to witness them first hand.

The cost of obtaining our high quality images each year is huge (running in to thousands of pounds). We hire a small helicopter and use high-end digital SLRs to record the images. While it is true that there are cheaper methods for photographing the circles, there is a more damaging cost to the quality of pictures possible using there methods (drones etc.) where using expensive digital cameras would not be practical or possible.

Because of our commitment to quality and our awareness of costs, we regularly review our practices and at the moment (as of 2015) we remain convinced that our current operating methods allow us to get the best images possible.

It is through the sales of our year books, photos and other merchandise that meeting the cost of our photography possible.

We also reply on our donors who very kindly help top up our flight fund each year.

We never take any of our supporters for granted and are constantly humbled and amazed at their generosity. Every sale and every donation, no matter how humble counts, and helps us continue to record this beautiful phenomenon.
