  • Sand Dune with Red Deer Tracks & Marram Grass (Ammophila arenaria)<br />
These are mobile sand dunes within the National Park. Initially formed on the beach the southwesterly winds pile up small mounds of sand around an obstacle or plant which as it accumulates becomes unstable and is progressively blown inland forming larger and larger dunes<br />
Doñana National & Natural Park. Huelva Province, Andalusia. SPAIN<br />
1969 - Set up as a National Park<br />
1981 - Biosphere Reserve<br />
1982 - Wetland of International Importance, Ramsar<br />
1985 - Special Protection Area for Birds<br />
1994 - World Heritage Site, UNESCO.<br />
The marshlands in particular are a very important area for the migration, breeding and wintering of European and African birds. It is also an area of old cultures, traditions and human uses - most of which are still in existance.

  • In the late afternoon the ghost crabs, also called sand crabs (Ocypode cursor) emerge from their sand burrows to patrol the beach, franticly running back and forth to avoid the waves and to constantly probe the sand for food with their sensitive pincers. A sea turtle hatchling coming in their way is doomed.
