The grassy areas of my university campus are awash with fairy circles. And the number is increasing. The bit of lawn in front of my flat now sports three incomplete circles that weren't there a month ago. I know next to nothing about fairy circles. Anyone care to table a theory why this is happening? Some background info:
1. There has been a lot of construction of new buildings recently, and quite a few older circles are now part of some building's foundation.
2. Some newer circles have had poles, lightposts and cable ducts sunk through them, involving digging up part of the circle. The circles have sometimes reknit themselves, other times they haven't.
3. The size varies. There's a couple of really big ones but usual size peaks at three metres in diameter. |
