Adopted1 December 2009 (by unitary authority)
Designed byMike Prior

Without consultation with the populace, Wiltshire Council formally adopted the ‘Bustard Flag’ as the flag for the area it governs on 1 December 2009 — not for the ceremonial county of Wiltshire; consequently, the flag does not represent the Borough of Swindon. Its adoption followed the reintroduction of the great bustard to Wiltshire. The flag has received criticism from vexillologists and heraldists for its cluttered design and lack of clarity from a distance.
