This Milk Hill Formation lies directly opposite and at the base of the White Horse. As you first approach it from the main road it gives the impression that you are looking at a star and a bird, but when you walk into it, its completely different and it takes you aback. Once inside the formation the first thing that came to thought is the resemblance to the Clatford/Manton formation - again with that unbalanced twist to the formation. When we first entered the formation approx 07.30am, it was still very crisp and showed no signs of being walked on. The large teardrop/tadpole element has been layered in four individual ways with various avenues branching away from it. The five circles at the top of the formation give the impression of a Peacocks tail. Each circle has the regular tuft of wheat left standing in the centre. The perfection seems to be getting better and better as I once explained ` Its as if a florist has paid attention in creating that perfect bouquet.

Apart from the main splendour of the formation I have noticed 3 other quirky areas around the main formation. As you leave the formation heading towards the white horse there are three small circles with the same regular twisting of the plant inside. There is no visible access to these circles as they do not lye on or near a tramline. ( A standard football would fit into these nests comfortably - are these the parking spots for THREE ORBS!?) At the top of these circles is another oddity which resembles a sort of a smiling face. If you look into this smiling face the wheat has indeed been nicely bent. ( Again there appears to be no visible access to this quiet formation.)

As you leave the main formation and head back towards the main road there is another odd looking  area in the field which caught my attention. It resembles an old/ghost formation - the plant is stunted and has a few areas where the plant appears to be bent. The strange thing is, is that it looks like the smiley face which I found at the top of the field.! Please refer to images. If anyone is flying it might be worth just taking a couple of snaps as it might be something else hidden in these quirky formations.
