  • Greater or Caribbean Flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber)  Bachas Beach, north Santa Cruz Island,Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR, South America<br />
Quietly filtering the brackish waters, these birds spread between the major lagoon of the archipelago, particularly those on Floreana, Isabela, Rabida, Santiago, Santa Cruz and Bainbridge Rocks. They seem to undertake seasonal migrations from lagoon to lagoon, on an individual basis, according to local food abundance. Inside their bills are a series of plates which serve to strain tiny invertebrate food organisms from the water and mud. The tongue acts as a piston, drawing water in through the front of the bill and then forcing it out of the sides past the plates. They often patter their feet in the mud to disturb food, but may also feed in deep water - they can swim very well if necessary. The pink color comes from carotenoid pigments in their diet.

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.<br />

  • Greater Flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber)<br />
about 25,000-30,000 flamingos over winter in Doñana but very few breed there as the wetlands dry up before the chicks are completely grown.<br />
Marsh in El Rocío Town<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.<br />
