LONDON So here's a weasel on a woodpecker.
The furry hitchhiker was caught on camera in east London's Hornchurch Country Park by photographer Martin Le-May and caught the attention of a Twitter user on Monday night.
While it might look like an adorable pairing, Le-May reckons the wily weasel had supper on its mind.
As we walked we heard a distressed squawking and I saw that flash of green," he told reporters.
