A virtual stop to air traffic has seen dragons return to the skies over Norfolk, it has emerged.
The fiery creatures have become all but extinct except for parts of Norfolk, which is considered to be hundreds of years behind the rest of the UK.
Around seven breeding pairs are known to exist, mainly in the unchartered territory around Downham Market and the north-west of the county.
But with airplanes now virtually absent from the skies, the dragons are able to fly with more freedom.
One, pictured above, was even seen over Norwich yesterday, looking for a local peasant to feast upon.
Professor Lorraine Fisher, 34, Britain’s foremost dragonologist, said the creatures have been all but wiped out by commercial air traffic over Norfolk.
“There have been too many cases of dragon strikes, which is a danger to aircraft as well as killing the poor dragons.
“But with just about all planes grounded, the dragons are confident enough to fly around again.
“Norfolk people are therefore urged to keep their small animals and young children indoors.”
Local Norfolk man Bubba Spuckler, who lives with his sister and their eight children, said: “We always said there be dragons in Norfolk.”
The dramatic dragon news follows revelations that even Lowestoft was beginning to return to nature.

Oi, you cheeky buggers. I’m the foremost dragonologist in Britain and i’ve written books on them to prove it!
Thank you for providing this essential information.
Mr Cole’s contribution intrigues me. I had not heard that lovely legend before. I went there in 2017 and saw no Dragons, I wish they would come to Suffolk.
The Norfolk Dragons were effective in keeping the Black Death at bay in Norfolk. They were then kept in storage, ultimately being moved to the secret hangars in the Stanford Training Area. There they emained unused until the latest coronavirus outbreak where they are proving as effective as ever.

I’m near the Rendlesham Forest incident that was seen in December 1980 and am now looking forward to see more ufo activity as there are virtually no aircraft in the skys to cause a ufo/aircraft collision!
Actual legend, The last recorded dragon seen in these parts was during the times of Arthurian legends. when supposedly the very last dragon flew from St Michaels Mount in Cornwall and ended being seen at Hopton on the Norfolk Suffolk border. The straight path of the dragon is now a ley line which some still call the “Dragons Line” and along this path, there are many places pubs and churches beating a name that has links to the Dragon or St Michaels Mount. Some even call it St Magogs leap. This is all from memory, but there is much more info about this legend out there in the internet.
