We present more than 1000-day long photometry of EY Draconis in BV(RI)Cpassbands. The changes in the light curve are caused by the spottedness of therotating surface. Modelling of the spotted surface shows that there are twolarge active regions present on the star on the opposite hemispheres. Theevolution of the surface patterns suggests a flip-flop phenomenon. UsingFourier analysis, we detect a rotation period of P_rot=0.45875d, and anactivity cycle with P~350d, similar to the 11-year long cycle of the Sun. Thiscycle with its year-long period is the shortest one ever detected on activestars. Two bright flares are also detected and analysed.
