Default 'One in a million' photo.

Anyone see this recently? I was pretty amazed by it. The situation itself must be rare but to capture it on camera so well is astonishing.

You expect a speech bubble coming out of the weasel saying "YEEE HAAA!!!!.

If you watch the video interview on the BCC site Martin has a big Canon lens with a cammo cover over it, so it looks like he goes out looking for wildlife and got very lucky with this one. Good on him.

Has this been proven not to be Photoshopped? I can hardly believe it given how easy it is to make these images.....

There are a series of images showing the second before and after with the bird and weasel separate.
