I don’t have a lot to talk about regarding this post as much as I wanted to share this incredible photo capturing a weasel catching a ride on a woodpecker I have seen woodpeckers here in our trees throughout the year. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a weasel around here

I think that is what they call a stoat in England. They are small like that.

Stoat and weasel are the same family but different animals.
