A tiny bird has been photographed posing triumphantly on top of an unconscious hawk it managed to escape from.

In a photo that would not look out of place in the WWE hall of fame, the little guy, believed to be a Northern wheatear, holds his head aloft as he does a victory pose before flying away. As the sparrowhawk tried to hunt the tiny bird, Mother Nature decided to play with the food chain and it smashed into a window, knocking itself out.

But don’t worry, the unlucky predator recovered after 20 minutes, before going hunting again and devouring another unlucky bird. The incredible snap was taken on a wind farm site in the North Sea on Thursday. It later was shared on Twitter by ‘Nestfinder5978’ who says their nephew sent them the snap.

Nature still has an edge over technology as a hawk wins over a drone in aerial combat.

In the captured video, neither the hawk nor the drone suffered any damage, but the hawk did show who was truly king of the skies.

Christoper Schmidt, a software developer and resident of Cambridgeport in Cambridge, Mass. took his quadcopter out to Magazine Beach to take a video of the changing color of the tree foliage.

Schmidt has been flying the device about twice a week since he purchased it half a year ago, creating and uploading several videos on his page in YouTube. He is able to take the videos using a GoPro camera that he installed on the drone's frame.

Whenever Schmidt flies his quadcopter, he says that the drone often encounters a few birds but passes by without any incident.

However, on the day that the video was taken, Schmidt saw that a hawk was in the area where his drone was flying in.
