Discuss this Crop Circle on the Forum

Just thought you'd be interested to know about a new crop circle I found while out for a walk this weekend close to Bournemouth/Christchurch. Its a few miles east of Bournemouth airport. 

It was in a field of bright yellow crop directly next to a public footpath. In fact I saw the imprint in the field as I was climbing a style into the field and then walked into the field to investigate. I've attached a few ground photos I took. 

I cant give any precise date as to when this appeared, but I walk this route most weekends, so I can say it wasn't there the previous weekend, which would mean it appeared in the last week. 

I'd estimate the design is about 150 feet across, circular in design.. and it seems to have 2 arms which spiral out from the centre in a sort of stepped fashion. Any more than that I cant really tell from ground level.
