Default Crop Circles from BBC helicopter footage

I am generally fairly sceptical about most crop circles as so many have
been faked. But I happened to notice on the Doomsday programme on
Saturday night that one of their tracking aerial helicopter views of Old
Sarum, Wiltshire included by chance what looks to me like a genuine and
fairly complex crop circle at the bottom left corner of the frame.

The relevant part can be seen using BBC iPlayer at 54:15-54:24 into the
programme with best overall view at 54:19:

The crop circle looks to be new with sharply defined edges as compared
to the tractor lines which are also visible where it turned at the field
boundaries. It looks natural enough...

With all the talk of Crop-circles, and some people linking them to
aliens and such... it might be worth mentioning there is a difference
between DOOMsday, and the subject of the program - DOMEsday!
