Sharing his story with BBC news, Mr. Martin said:

“I heard a distressed squawking noise and feared the worst.

“I soon realised it was a woodpecker with some kind of small mammal on its back.

“I think we may have distracted the weasel as when the woodpecker landed it managed to escape and the weasel ran into the grass.”
