Simon demonstrating the best way to approach an adult female dragon with nearby young.
The dragon's nest. Several young can clearly be heard, although they are very difficult to get a glimpse of.
A number of these innovative hanging hides have been installed around the park in the vicinity of the dragon's nest. They hold one or two people in considerable comfort, and of course, total safety. Apparently dragons can't see this particular shade of red.

I presume these are young dragons...
from those hatched at Chinon last year?
It'd be quite nice to see these flying overhead....
rather than the silver birds with vapour trails.
Of course, they presumably are well trained enough not to flame near drying crops or hay....
we don't want the "Desolation of Smaug" around here....
Love it.
Tim: I don't know -- what age do dragons reach sexual maturity? I hadn't thought about the risk of flaming either!
