Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ We had a lovely evening on Wednesday. Went for a Bat Walk with volunteers from High Leasowes & it was absolutely marvellous. 😁 Photo of the almost full moon on Wednesday. It illuminated our walk everso well. #dragonsofshropshire #moonlight #shropshire #landscapephotography

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ Mathilde says a very emphatic No! Apart from the fact they have dried fruit in (which we all know she loathes) iit is September & far to early for these! What do you think? Are you a mince pie fan? #dragonsofshropshire #mincepies #shropshire #christmasinseptember

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ We had a visit with the Longmynd Mossgreens & this little hatchling sneakily hitched a lift back to HQ in our rucksack. He says he would love a new adventure if anyone is interested in giving him a new home? #dragonsofshropshire #greendragon #dragonart #shropshire

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ We couldn't post yesterday; migraines are mean. Ever seen Amaranth? Awfully dragonesque, don't you think? Mathilde says there's no such thing as an amaranth dragon, we say pffft *blows raspberry* #dragonsofshropshire #inspiredbynature #shropshire #amaranth #gardening

Dragons of Shropshire @salopiandragons.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ Are you sitting down? Mathilde says, please do and also Be Amazed! Resident Artist has managed to put the Autumn membership packs together EARLY! We've been doing memberships since 2018 & not once been early 😂 We need a cup of tea for the shock 😂 #dragonsofshropshire

Dragons of Shropshire @salopiandragons.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

One of our intrepid Associates spotted this beastie whilst out and about. 😁 Mathilde says its definitely not modelled off a Shropshire Dragon as they are much too refined to laze about licking their nostrils. 😂 Have you been out #DragonSpotting lately? #dragonsofshropshire #dragonart #dragons

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ Little jolly to Ludlow this week for a temporary relocation effort of Teme Tilia water dragons - to where stupid humans won't bother them. Even with all the sun bakedness this area is beautiful. #dragonsofshropshire #ludlow #landscapephotography #shropshire

This is me, Ceri - the one in glasses & my other half, Mr Smith. We celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary yesterday with breakfast at the Acton Scott Farm Cafe 😋 We didn't take Mathilde so got her a slice of pretty blondie instead. #dragonsofshropshire #shropshire #dragonart #cake

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ . Mathilde suggested we go blackberry picking today, which was odd as she doesn't really like fruit. 😂 . Here's she is looking all splendid with the Mynd in the background. 😊 . . . #dragonsofshropshire #shropshire #needlefeltdragon #needlefeltart #naturephotography

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ We think we have ID'd the little lilac dragons!! 🥳 As they were discovered in a garden very near Lynclys Common, the Bookwyrms believe they are long lost Lynclys Orchid Dragons. 🤩 #dragonsofshropshire #needlefeltdragon #dragonart #naturephotography #naturewalks

Dragons of Shropshire @salopiandragons.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ We've been sent this rather lovely photo of a We Don't Know Dragon! 😱 Mathilde is bamboozled & the Bookwyrms are all in a tizzy! What species is this sweetheart? Where did it come from? We love rootling through the archives! Wish us luck! #dragonsofshropshire #dragons

*caution advised. Post has snakes* We had call about a Viper Mimic with heatstroke. Thought it weird as Viper Mimics LOVE hot weather. Turns out it wasn't a Viper Mimic, it was an actual Viper Berus 🤯 It wasnt in distress either, just happy sunning itself! #dragonsofshropshire #adder #shropshire

Dragons of Shropshire @salopiandragons.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ Today we're all hiding from the heat, keeping hydrated with lots of iced tea and a 'posh' mango icecream cone. Mathilde says she'd rather have a 99 with a flake. 😂 Hope you're all keeping alright? #shropshire #dragonsofshropshire #summer2026 #icecream #friday

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ We forgot to post yesterday so we're blaming the heat for melting our brains. 🫣 Here's Mathilde, by the pond while we top up the birdbaths and bowls. If you could put water dishes out for wildlife too, that would be grand. 😚 #dragonsofshropshire #dragons #shropshire

Dragons of Shropshire @salopiandragons.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ We had a #dragonspotting outing this weekend to the Welsh coast. We saw lots of lovely red dragon cuddly plushies but no real ones. Mathilde felt sure we would meet her Welsh counterpart. Perhaps next time? . #dragonsofshropshire #dragons #pendinesands #Carmarthen

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ We had some pitter-pattery rain yesterday. Sidenote; my walking boots are not waterproof anymore. Mathilde was not amused by my soggy sock prints across the carpet at HQ 🤭😂 Video from beneath the brolly yesterday. #dragonsofshropshire #rainyday #shropshire #naturewalks

Dragons of Shropshire @salopiandragons.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ We saw stars on our walk earlier today. No, we didn't clonk our noggins, nor was it dark out; they're elderflower stars. Mathilde says we're daft but we don't mind, we like being able to see the whimsy. 😊 #dragonsofshropshire #elderflowers #shropshire #naturewalks

Dragons of Shropshire @salopiandragons.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ Stunning day here in south Shropshire. It's currently 30⁰c 🥵 We've topped up all the birdbaths & assorted shallow water bowls and got ourselves a cold drink too. 😊 Please don't forget local wildlife when the weather is warm, they get thirsty too. 😊 #dragonsofshropshire

Dragons of Shropshire @salopiandragons.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Hello DragonSpotters 😊 Mathilde says there's no such thing as Hawthorn Dragons. We disagree...really, look at those blossoms! Wouldn't they make just the comfiest little dragon beds? What do you think?! 🤔 Hawthorn Dragons or no? #dragonsofshropshire #hawthorn #may #springblossom #shropshire

Dragons of Shropshire @salopiandragons.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ Perfect weather for woodland wanders. Spotted this magnificent Whitcliffe White. Mathilde says we're lucky we still have our eyebrows - these dragons are protective of their young & it's Hatching season. 🫣😅 #dragonsofshropshire #needlefeltdragon #shropshire #dragonart #art

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ The BookWyrms uncovered a very dessicated file, it relates to a dragon troupe maming snakeshead fritillary home. Is it too late this year to try & spot one of these Fritillary dragons in the wild? #dragonsofshropshire #snakesheadfritillary #shropshire #dragonart

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ We received a call about a scared dragon by the brook, only to find it wasn't a dragon at all. It was a rather impressive mutanty Skunk Cabbge and has since been removed. It did look rather dragony didn't it? #dragonsofshropshire #waterplants #naturereserve #shropshire

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ More signs of Spring. The willow tree buds look like little fluffy creatures. We asked Mathilde; she said there's no such thing as a Shropshire Willow Dragon. But the Bookwyrms went quiet, so maybe there is? Maybe? #dragonsofshropshire #artcompetition #dragonart
