A wind turbine rotor blade is provided. The wind turbine rotor blade includes at least two blade sections and a connector for connecting adjacent blade sections, which connector has an inner connecting part of a first blade section and an outer connecting part of a second blade section, wherein the outer connecting part is adapted to enclose the inner connecting part; and a first seal arranged about a connecting part such that an outer surface of the inner connecting part, an inner surface of the outer connecting part, and the first seal form a mold; and an adhesive layer introduced to fill the mold. A wind turbine having a number of such rotor blades as well as a method of constructing such a wind turbine rotor blade are also provided.

1. A method of constructing a wind turbine rotor blade, comprising: forming a first blade section to include an inner connecting part of a blade connector;forming a second blade section to include an outer connecting part of the blade connector such that the outer connecting part is adapted to enclose the inner connecting part;arranging a discrete first seal comprising compliant material to abut an end face of the inner connecting part;arranging the outer connecting part about the inner connecting part such that a mould is formed by an outer surface of the inner connecting part, an inner surface of the outer connecting part and the first seal; andintroducing an adhesive layer to fill the mould;arranging the first blade section such that the inner connecting part points toward a tip of the blade;arranging the second blade section such that the outer connecting part points toward a base of the blade;abutting an end face of the inner connecting part with the first seal;hanging the blade with the tip oriented downward; andallowing gravity to assist with distribution of the adhesive layer in the mould;forming a second seal to trap the adhesive layer in the mould; andwherein the blade is secured to a hub of a wind turbine, the method further comprising rotating the hub and blade before the adhesive layer fully cures. 2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising monitoring a pressure between the inner connecting part and the first seal during the arranging of the outer connecting part about the inner connecting part. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein introducing the adhesive layer to fill the mould comprises pouring an adhesive into a gap between the outer connecting part and the inner connecting part. 4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising applying the second seal at an interface between the blade sections.
