The weasel was trying to kill the woodpecker. After a crash landing and a brief struggle the woodpecker got away. The series of photos were taken in Hornchurch Country Park by wild life photographer Martin Le-May.

Just for reference
Hornchurch Country Park is a 104.5 hectare park on the former site of Hornchurch Airfield, south of Hornchurch in the London Borough of Havering, east London.

So flying is well known there

Weasels are voracious predators and will take animals much bigger, like rabbits, given the chance. It was taken on a nature reserve the animals dont play games there, I dont think it has been sen or reported before just a lucky shot, like the video of a zebra escaping from a lioness by trying to drown it, if you hadnt seen it you wouldnt believe it.

That was an excellent shot and certainly a once in a lifetime opportunity. That weasel was certainly trying for the kill and I thought that might have been a Stoat due to it's size or perhaps a juvinile Weasel?

What makes my skin crawl, is the amount of people commenting on that photo either with "why can't people learn such love and harmony from animals?" or "that is photoshopped, you idiots".
