Index of Subjects As a photographer I would say this is a hoax . Cheers, Walt -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Stephen Shaw Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2015 9:52 PM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: RE: [NatureNS] BBC Article - Weasel photographed riding on a woodpecker's back Too good to be true? As with the recent tufty eared squirrel, I'd suspect some sort of photo-fraud. The British green woodpecker is quite a large bird, about 12.5 inches long according to Peterson et al, and while a least weasel should be about 7-8" long, this one looks more like 6". Has the weasel been photoshopped in? It doesn't look to be gripping the neck of the bird and indenting the feathers there with any intensity, as you might suspect it would be doing in the circumstances.
