Seagull ends up encased in ice after falling aslee

[Admin Rose]

What's a nice gull like you doing stuck in a place like this?

This bird-brained seagull fell asleep on a canal in Duisburg, Germany, and woke up frozen solid in a block of ice as temperatures dipped to minus 10 degrees Celsius.

"By the time passers by had called us it was stuck up to its neck in solid ice," said a spokesman for the river police, who were called to rescue him.

"So we carefully cut it free in a large block of ice and then pulled it on board where we melted the ice while the gull was eating some fish.

"He swam off with no long term ill effects," they added.
