I am writing with reference
to the crop formation which appeared yesterday
morning on our land at Avebury Trusloe and has
subsequently appeared on your website.
As the owners of the field we
are asking if you could put a message on your
website asking people NOT to enter the field and
crop formation. This area has been planted as a
conservation area and planted with a wild bird
mixture. The area is designed to provide winter
feed to wildlife and birds and also to provide a
safe habitat for ground nesting birds. A lot of
time and money has been spent siting this
particular plot and establishing it for the
benefit of wild birds, insects and farmland
animals.
Visitors to the formation are
now disturbing the birds who will not come back
to the plot, they are trampling down the nesting
areas and feed sources and all this work is now
being undone. People entering the field have not
been given permission and signs have been
erected stating there is 'no entry' but they are
being ignored. Indeed some people have become
rather aggressive and abusive when asked to
leave the field.
We ask that everyone is
welcome to enjoy the aerial pictures of the
formation on the internet, but please do not
enter the field.
Many thanks
Robin and Ben Butler Land
owners

Having seen an aircraft circle
near Windmill Hill this morning I went to have a look. From a
distance there looks like there is something in the field but I
could not be certain. I did not have suitable footwear to go and
check it out properly. I have attached the best photographs I
could get with the equipment I had.
