Hide and seek in the mango tree

Squirrel in the mango blossom
Squirrel in the mango blossom · Sony A6700

When a mango tree flowers, it fills with small visitors. Bees and flies come for the nectar, and squirrels come for whatever they can reach.

This one was hanging upside down among the blossom, head buried in a spray of flowers. Through the leaves it was mostly a grey shape and an eye. I shot through the gap in the branches rather than wait for a clear view, because a clear view was not coming.

Look for the eye just below the flowers, and the rest of the squirrel follows.
