We're not yet clear what this dragon's diet consists of, so it's unclear if a growth in numbers might impact other wildlife. Our researchers are keeping a close eye on this. In the meantime: watch your step! They seem to be resilient, but probably don't want to be stepped on.

We spotted a delightful example of this on the Mile End Road where this more recent large green dragon has chosen to make its home on the ground floor window of the same building as this much smaller bonded pair, above on the first floor bay window. Delightful!

Incredible! Great work identifying the genus. We'll be sharing this one this week.

Our experts returned with much better cameras this time, so here is the beastie in all its glory. Many thanks to Miranda for her help recording it.

Cutty SARK! Autocorrect is terrible with place names.

However, the theory is that a few centuries in a polluted city prompted evolution to a colourway which camouflages better with the surroundings. They still retain a flash of red on each wing, and are a unique breed found only in London - as far as we know.

This breed evolved directly from the ddraig goch (Welsh Red) species which was brought to London by the Tudors as part of the menagerie of Royal beasts.

This breeding pair was spotted on the London Magistrate's Court, near Bank station - an especially dense habitat for London dragons.

The most famous Red-Tipped Londiniums are the larger ones which work as guards for the City of London.

This dragon was spotted by the Cutty Dark, Greenwich.

As serious scientist dragon-twitchers, we love how much these critters will make their homes everywhere: churches, castles, restaurants, bins, graffitied walls and everything in-between. For now: bus stops. Sure, why not?

Diversity is beautiful. We love how many different dragons our researchers can study in such a small geographic area. We're spoilt rotten & we wouldn't change it for the world
