The incredible photograph shows the tiny brown weasel clinging to the back of the green woodpecker as it takes flight across Hornchurch Country Park in east London. It was captured by photographer Martin Le-May, who had been enjoying a walk through the park with his wife
Although all appears rather amicable in the incredible image, amateur photographer Martin Le-May said the small mammal had actually pounced on the bird as its next victim. 
Following a tumble in the grass of the East London park, the green woodpecker managed to escape the small weasel who later ran off

The photographer said:  'We walked further up to where it had all happened and couldn't see any sign of the weasel so I assume it had ran back off into the grass, hungry. 

'It looked as good as it could have considering it had just escaped being eaten by a weasel.'
