The amateur photographer who took the perfect wildlife photo

Amateur photographer, Martin Le-May, took a photo of a woodpecker flying towards him, before realising there was weasel joining the ride when he uploaded the photograph.

He admitted people have suggested he enter the photo into competitions, but said "the beauty for an amateur photographer is when lots and lots of people see your image" after 1.4 million people had seen his image on buzzfeed.com.

Although weasels are known to have an aggressive nature, Mr Le-May said the flight had a happy ending, with the two animals going their separate ways after landing.
