Bird watching IN NORWAY

Proact

This county constitutes the northern part of "Vestlandet" - The Western Land. Numerous fjords, wild mountains and many islands dominates the nature in Møre and Romsdal. The first part of the county name probably derives from "mare", an old word for sea. If that is true Møre means "the land by the sea". Romsdal, the central part of the county, takes it's name from the valley where the river Rauma flows to the sea. For those wanting to visit a seabird colony without travelling to the far north, then this is the county to visit. Runde is Norway's most southerly seabird colony. Here you will find good numbers of seabirds, on an island that can be reached by road. Below you will find some of the latest observations from the county.
