Around February, life in the Alpine uplands accelerates, with butterflies engaging in their courtship rituals and various plants, such as coltsfoot, starting to bloom.

The kingfisher, drawn by the promise of new life, seeks a mate and nests, entrusting the survival of its chicks to the very waters that once posed a threat to its own livelihood.
