It’s like a fantasy book story of a weasel warrior riding on a bird.
The Woodpecker does seem a little concerned!
A truly stunning sight of a little weasel perched on the back of a woodpecker.
Martin Le-May is a photographer from London. He said he was walking through the park at the time when he witnessed this amazing spectacle.
A bird carrying a small mammal on its back.
While to most, this seemed like an unusual, beautiful encounter between two completely different species, it was actually a struggle for survival.
When they fell to the ground, the duo fought for their lives for a few moments, after which the woodpecker decided to leave and then climbed to the heights and disappeared.
Hope all involved had a safe landing!
Hardly a magical ride, pretty sure the weasel was trying to kill the woodpecker before it took off.
It was a beautiful, sweet moment, but the fact is that weasels often attack birds and their nests. Martin said the bird had gone to live its life, and the hungry weasel got lost in the big grass.
Animals are so unique, absolutely amazing, and very precious.
