Harmaaleppä (Alnus incana) kukkii Oulun tienoilla, vaikka maa on vielä osaksi lumen peitossa.

Grey alder (Alnus incana) is flowering although the land is still under the snowcover. As well
the stoneflies (Plecoptera) are climbed up from rivers, finches (Fringilla coelebs) and wagtails (Motacila alba)
are arrived here!
