Hide and steal
In this image, a common myna guards its nest while an Indian palm squirrel waits patiently behind a nesting hole, hoping to steal some nesting material. The stark presentation of the tree trunks, the curvature of the squirrel’s tail, and the simple story behind their interaction are key elements of this image.
