Three Things To Learn From 2024
Nobody will look back on the 2024 season with enthusiasm. Retrospectively, it was an extremely odd episode — though interesting, at least for us here at The Croppie — that highlighted the circles’ downward spiral of recent years.

Operation Blackbird

Were the Pictograms of 2023 Telling Us Something?
We recently read a very considered piece on the wonderful Circular State of Mind website. Titled ‘Crop Circles 2023: End of the Season’, it’s a brief contemplation on the current state of play in the fields and we’d like to add our own thoughts on the matters it raises.

2022 Circles: Etchilhampton Hill (2), near Devizes, Wiltshire
Another five-fold formation, following on from the recent circle at Alton Priors. This one is in a different league in terms of the beauty of its construction, though it hasn’t gone unnoticed that it bears striking similarities to a small circle that appeared at Silbury Hill in June 2012.
