Fabulous day at The Tower of London. This dragon represents the 9 functions of the tower. Brilliant!

Still amazed by the detail you get on these prints. Look at the dragon's little tail on the Temple Bar Memorial at the Western entrance to the City of London.

An under-recognised #conservation #SuccessStory - dragon numbers have gradually been increasing in #London over the last 10yrs. @DragonsofLondon is doing great work mapping this, send in your sightings!🐉
#CitizenScience
For our first birthday the lovelies at @iGiGL mapped out dragon locations based on the data we had at the time - & in the time since we've spotted & mapped many more dragons! dragonsoflondon.org/map/

City of #London dragon and full moon. These mark the various entrances to the City, the ancient heart of London and now the business quarter. And, moon over chimneys on Fleet Street.

Spotted a micro megalithic complex spotted in Perry Rise, SE26 this morning. Complete with dragon!
Added to my new megaliths of London list.

What even is a dragon?!
You didn’t ask, but I’m making a thread about it anyway:
This will be a thread about folklore, culture, the way we make categories and lump things together, and about the overriding power of colonialism.
Also, obviously, it is about dragons!!! 1/

Y Ddraig Goch (The Red Dragon of Wales) is the heraldic symbol of Wales, and its national flag.
The oldest recorded use of the dragon symbolising Wales dates to AD 829, while legend tells that it was the battle standard of King Arthur and other ancient Celtic leaders.

In 2016, @jeremyburge and I sent a proposal to @unicode to include the 🏴🏴🏴 flags on emoji keyboards 👉
blog.emojipedia.org/emoji-fl…
It was a success 👉
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-4003…
But before it landed, Apple, Google etc had to consider the design.
Especially the dragon…

Ashamed to say we didn’t know that there isn’t a standardised dragon on the Welsh flag. We wonder if @DragonsofLondon has a view on this.
Question for #WelshTwitter:
Should we have a standardised Dragon?
Currently, the flag of Wales can be any old red dragon on green and white, so you end up with some horrors (see thread).
@alednotjones introduced mathematics to Apple's version.
Should we adopt it? Officially?
