Crop Circles of 2025
We have decided to list all the reported circles that we know about from 2025 here. We do not cover all the circles that appear each year and this can be for several reasons including, ability to cover a circle and questions as to legitimacy. As there is no litmus test (or tests) for crop circles, one should keep an open mind when it comes to all circles, unless there is definitive information that a circle has been commissioned for say, advertising. We exercise our own opinions on which circles to cover, your own opinions may differ.
Here is the list (so far). I’ll keep this list updated periodically. Where we have covered a circle I have linked to the corresponding page for that circle.

General Pre-Season Info
When will the first circle of 2025 appear?
(See above)
The first circle reported last year (2024) was on June 12th at Wilton Windmill in Wiltshire. It was a circle in barley. In many years past the season has begun with a circle in the yellow fields of oilseed rape (canola), but we do not always have circles in canola every year. Some years the season will not start until the Barley is tall enough to hold a circle, which can be anytime from late May until June.
Weather so far in 2025
We have enjoyed a relatively dry winter and lots of early spring sunshine. Consequently the oilseed rape (canola) fields are beginning to flower.

When do the crop circles usually appear?
Although it might seem obvious, crop circles occur only during the crop growing season. In the UK the first circles can start to occur in April and May, reaching their height in late July and August. Crop circles do in fact occur all over the world in many countries and obviously they similarly follow growing seasons in that particular part of the world. In the U.S. the crop circles tend to be in soya or corn (maize).
Where do the crop circles appear?
In the UK most circles occur in the counties of Wiltshire and Hampshire, although circles do happen (in lesser numbers) countrywide. In the early season (April/May) numbers are few but this gradually builds up as the summer moves on, at the height of the season (late July/August) several circles can appear on one night.
The season ends with the harvest (mid-late August) and the slate is wiped clean for another year. In the UK the first crop to mature is oilseed rape (canola), then barley, then wheat – the circles seem to follow this maturation process with the first circles appearing in the brilliant yellow of the canola fields and finishing in mature golden wheat. From time to time circles have appeared in other crops – linseed, borage, oats, even beans.

Visiting the Crop Circles this summer?
See our Visiting the Crop Circles section for some practical advice. The most important of which is that you will always need the permission of the farmer to enter any field. As the season progresses check out the entry page for each circle for any information we have about access for visitors.

Please Help to keep us Flying in 2025: If you have enjoyed looking at our pictures and information please consider making a small donation to keep us flying. There are so few of us left regularly recording the circles it’s really important that we continue. And while some now use drones to record the circles, it is important that there are still images taken from aircraft where the best quality camera equipment can be used and images that include the broad vista of the landscape can be taken.
This kind of photography is expensive and it gets harder with each passing year to raise the funds we need to continue our work, but if everyone who regularly looked at this website made a small donation we would meet the funds we need. You can make a donation here.
Image Licencing
We can supply high resolution images of many of our photographs and the sky is the limit as to what they can be used for! Choose from our extensive library or contact us to commission aerial photography for your project.
