Going by how much we all love wildlife photos on GardenStew this one should be of interest Get ready for... Green Woodpecker and Weasel https://twitter.com/Jayward7/status/572495249756577792/photo/1 If I find out this is photoshopped I'm going to be very disappointed.
Randy just sent me the same photo. Apparently the Weasel was intent on having the bird for lunch. Right after taking the photo the Woodpecker landed, squawking in pain and fighting for it's life. The Weasel caught sight of the photographer and ran off, probably the only thing that save the Woodpeckers life.
How amazing! Not only was the photographer lucky to be in the right place at the right time but how lucky for the woodpecker that he was there!
Laura just sent me the link a little while ago. Totally fantastic photograph!! I'm so glad the woodpecker managed to get away and, hopefully, uninjured.
This shot was all over Facebook yetserday, and it didn't take long and people were photoshopping odd things to it ...
I did see that on the news...that was a wonderful picture and I am hoping he wins something for it... I am happy for the bird that it wasn't the weasels lunch....what a story he can tell !
