Kapiti Island
Kāpiti Island is a small but conspicuous island about 5 km (3 mi) off the west coast of the lower North Island of New Zealand. It is 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) long, running southwest/northeast, and roughly 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide, being more or less rectangular in shape, and has an area of 19.65 km2 (7.59 sq mi).
The conservation potential of the island was seen as early as 1870. It was reserved as a bird sanctuary in 1897 but it was not until 1987 that the Department of Conservation (DOC) took over the administration of the island. In the 1980s and 1990s efforts were made to return the island to a natural state; first sheep and possums were removed. In an action few thought possible for an island of its size, rats were eradicated in 1998.

Leef daar mense?
Nie regtig nie.Net die ouens wat navorsing doen en natuurbewaarders besoek dit gereeld. mens kan die eiland besoek in n groep. Net 50 persone per dag word toegelaat. Dis n fotograaf se voel paradys se hulle.
Jy sal beslis moet gaan kyk!
Beslis op my lysie van plekke om te besoek. Gaan juis more weer bietjie met trein Wellington toe om bietjie fotos te neem.(As die weer dit toelaat) Wil bietjie “kreatief” raak. Van onder en bo en sykant en wat ook al
Lekker Wens ek kon saam gaan
Beslis ja. Beplan nog n uitstappie om fotos te neem saam met fotograaf. Sal landskap en voellewe wees as dit is. Wag net vir die weer om bietjie beter te word.
Ja mens kan nie in die winter sulke goed doen nie
Netso, hier is dit ekstra onplesierig buite in die winter. Het vandag bietjie gaan fotos neem in Wellington by hawe. Was alweer sterk bewolk en wind het naderhand mens se hande gevries. Ek het darem n par “mooi” fotos gekry. Gladnie genoeg om 4 kreatiewes uit te kies nie.
Gelukkig gee hy nie om om te wag nie
Beslis!
Beautiful horizon capture, scrapydo!
Thank you, it is always something special when I pass there( less than 30 min drive from where I live)
Great entry for the challenge, scrapydo. So glad they managed to get rid of the rats. 🙂
Thank you. A while ago they were talking about rats again. I think some people are very spiteful to let them lose on purpose, I hate those poeople!
This sounds like a great place to visit next time I come over!
They say it is worth the day out! Lots of birds to see
