After the two finished fighting it out on the ground it ended in a draw. The weasel ran off into the long grass still feeling hungry and the woodpecker flew away with it’s life and perhaps even it’s eggs intact.
Weasels are well known for stealing eggs from bird’s nests but whether this sly carnivorous mammal was after the eggs or was being more adventurous and wanted to eat the bird we are not sure. Or perhaps the woodpecker was trying to get the weasel away from it’s nest to safe it’s eggs. What do you think?
