A remarkable photo has captured a weasel on a woodpecker's back as the bird flies through the air. The photographer, Martin Le-May from Essex, said he 'feared the worst' for the green bird after hearing 'distressed squawking' during its struggle with the mammal at Hornchurch Country Park. After Le-May managed to capture the incredible image - which has become a hit on Twitter since it was taken - the creature managed to escape with its life.Picture: Martin Le-May


Isn't that an amazing sight?
 
This is great!

All four of those pictures have a brutal under tone. The fight for survival. As beautiful as they are the reason for them is pretty brutal.

Interesting. Because those are the ones I liked the best. Of course there is something glorious about adversity - brutal or not. It removes the dross and purifies us like gold. Adversity is good.

Don't get me wrong, they are incredible pictures. It's just nature and nature isn't all that pretty sometimes.
