Kirsty sent us pictures of Benji flying his pterodactyl ‘Petrie’ when on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall recently. In the photo he is trying to catch her as she is being brought down.
Kirsty told us ‘Benji loves flying her so much - always a delight’.
Benji was also busy on a family trip to the Eden Project where on seeing our kite on sale in the gift shop, he told anyone who would listen what a fabulous kite it is!
Thank you Benji and Kirsty

Thanks to Dom for her great pterodactyl picture from Llangennith Beach on the Gower peninsula in South Wales. Beaches at low tide are great places to fly a kite - usually lots of space and if the wind is off the sea it won't be disturbed by trees or buildings! We love seeing your pictures so please keep them coming.

A great pterodactyl photo from Hayley on Glendale beach on the Isle of Skye, Hayley said ‘It's a wonderful kite that brought us a lot of fun'.

Thanks to Dorsetbays for their great pictures from the Dorchester Kite Festival, we particularly loved this one, we think this is the most pterodactyl kites ever flown in one place at the same time, we counted 11 pterrys!, with no doubt more out of shot. Do you agree with our counting or can you find more?

It was great to be at the Dorchester Kite Festival on Saturday, amazing to see so many people enjoying the sunshine, the dramatic display kites, and flying their own kites including our pterodactyl. We also helped to fly the Big Dorchester Kite. Thanks to Dorchester Town Council for inviting us and organising the day so successfully. Have a search online and you'll find some great pictures from the day.

Two weeks ago we said a sad goodbye to our beloved rescued spotty dog 'Dotty'. She'd been part of the family for almost 14 years, and was probably aged about 16. She joined us on many adventures, some of which involved pterodactyl flying, although I don't think she was 'Pterry's' biggest fan and probably was thinking - "can't we just go for a walk!" Kite flying won't be the same without her... Do you take your dog kite flying with you?

Erin sent us a great picture and short film and told us, '‘I bought this for my 4 year old nephew, even though his dad keeps playing with it! Great product, opened on the Saturday and he's up flying on the Sunday - he's been named Trevor Pterodactyl'

We've just launched our redesigned website. After 8 years we realised it needed an upgrade and to be more mobile friendly. We've also taken the opportunity to use a close-up short drone film of the pterodactyl flying. We've kept all the previous pages, especially the sightings map with pterodactyls spotted in five continents. Please have a look at our new webiste and let us know what you think! www.jurassickites.co.uk
