A duck was discovered frozen to a lake surface near a sewage plant in Braunschweig, Germany.
Firefighters were called to the scene and successfully freed the bird from the ice.
The duck was handed over to the Braunschweig animal welfare organization for examination and care.
Experts from the nature conservation group NABU explained that healthy waterfowl typically do not freeze to ice, but injured or sick birds may require human intervention during prolonged frost.
