Create a realistic scene set in the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert

Create a realistic scene set in the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert. In the foreground, there's a solitary, withered tree standing tall in the golden sands. On one of the branches of the tree, a bird's nest is perched, containing a few eggs. A black snake is slithering up the tree trunk, moving stealthily towards the nest with its tongue flicking out. In the background, a bird is flying towards the tree, its wings spread wide as it rushes back to protect its nest. The sun is low on the horizon, casting long shadows and creating a dramatic contrast between the bright sand and the darker elements of the scene. The atmosphere conveys tension and urgency, emphasizing the imminent danger to the bird's nest.
