Today is #WorldSandDuneDay. Show your support for these amazing coastline structures & the biodiversity within them. Here’s my images from a Scottish beach.

No, there hasn't been a surprise blizzard - this is sand! The last Saturday in June is World Sand Dune Day, and some of the most unique sand dunes in the world are here at White Sands National Park. The pure gypsum sand found here forms the largest deposit on the planet.

🌾 Happy #WorldSandDuneDay from Achill! 🏖️
Sand dunes = coastal heroes 🌊
They protect our shores & wildlife—but they’re under threat.
✅ Stay on paths
✅ Don’t climb dunes
✅ Support conservation
Let’s protect what protects us 💚

Learning from @plantlifeuk.bsky.social that today is #WorldSandDuneDay - so here’s a sea daffodil (Pancratium maritimum) I spotted a few years ago in the Algarve.
And since it’s still #InsectWeek: these beauties rely mostly on migratory hawkmoths for pollination.
It's #WorldSandDuneDay
Try to contain your excitement.
