While in the south they are preparing for the boating season, we, here in the north, still enjoy the best cross-country and downhill skiing season. May is a month when migrating birds return and we experience the spring break-up when the ice leaves the rivers. This is a beautiful powerful process in the rivers of Lapland, the fells are released from their snowy cover and the green buds of the coming summer appear.
Spring is also an exciting time for bird watchers.
You can then see the wide variety and large number of birds.
