"<strong>March 2:</strong> A weasel hitches a lift on the back of a woodpecker near London. The image, credited to amateur photographer Martin Le-May, <a href=""http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/03/europe/uk-woodpecker-weasel/index.html"" target=""_blank"">went viral on Twitter</a> after it was posted by photographer Jason Ward. Le-May told British television channel ITV that he had been walking with his wife in Hornchurch Country Park when they heard ""a distressed squawking"" noise and spotted the woodpecker. ""Just after I switched from my binoculars to my camera, the bird flew across us and slightly in our direction; suddenly it was obvious it had a small mammal on its back and this was a struggle for life,"" Le-May said. Eventually, Le-May told ITV, the weasel lost its grip and the bird flew away."
