A 360° panorama of Bamburgh Castle and the long sandy beach below it. Apologies for the slight change in exposure near the end of the panorama - the camera battery needed changing which meant resetting the exposure & focus! |

The Ka`ena Point Natural Area Reserve (NAR) occupies the western tip of O`ahu. It is home to breeding colonies of Laysan Albatross, Wedge-tailed shearwaters, and other seabirds. The NAR is home to several threatened and endangered plant species, and to the occassional endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal. A predator-proof (dogs, cats, mongoose, rats) fence is in the planning stage. These introduced animals, especially marauding dogs, sometimes kill large numbers of nesting birds. White-tailed tropic birds nest on the cliffs just east of the point, and Black-footed Albatross occassionally visit the area. |
