A drove of dragons


It's Appreciate a Dragon Day according to one of the calendars we have up. So here's a drove of dragons to celebrate.

Gradually I've gathered up quite a collection of pics of dragons. Like this selfie taken in the fanzone at the 2025 Welsh Cup Final.


Here he is in action at a Wales game.


Barry Town also have a dragon occasionally in attendance. 

Channeling Edvard Munch,
or having trouble with the costumes head?


There are lots of dragons on flags at football matches, of course.


Although sometimes other animals replace them.



There's a dragon on the flag on my Plaid Cymru membership card.



And in April last year, at the March for Independence in Barry, I got this fridge magnet from Rebel Dragon Designs, which combines the Welsh Dragon with the Rebel Alliance logo from Star Wars.


I like the way artists put their own spin on the Welsh dragon. The artist Revealist has created this "dragon in a bally" which can be seen in a few places around Cardiff. The best one is in Grangetown, though.


Meanwhile this print caught my eye at an art fair in Canton last year.



When the new Lego Shop opened in Cardiff in September they had a massive, very impressive, Lego dragon installed outside.


It feels like dragons are spottable any and everywhere!




And if you're very lucky, maybe you can grow your own pair of dragon wings!


Happy Appreciate a Dragon Day! I hope you enjoyed seeing this drove of dragons!
