Two ducks trapped in the ice of a frozen lake in Qingdao, northern China's Shandong Province were rescued after a third raised the alarm. According to workers at Qingdao Forest Wildlife World they went to investigate when they heard one of the birds loudly and repeatedly calling. Searching for the noisy duck, they spotted it next to another bird that was apparently trapped in the ice of the frozen lake. Not far away they also spotted a second trapped bird. Workers then used an inflatable boat to get close enough to the two birds to free them.
