Some of the easiest wildlife to spot in Norway are the birds. Depending on what parts of Norway you are visiting you may be treated to a lot of other animals as well. This week I have been visiting some of the finest areas in Norway, the fjord and mountain counties of the western Norway. While in the only county in M\u00f8re & Romsdal that have no coastline, Rindal, we had the joy of seeing a couple of hare kids. They were nearly fully grown, but still not very scared of people. <\/p>\n

\nThis is a mountain hare<\/a>. Maybe a couple of months old.<\/p>\n
