South China Morning Post published this video item, entitled “Black stork rescued after being grounded by heatwave in northwestern China” – below is their description.
Police in northwestern China helped rescue an ailing black stork that apparently was forced to make an “emergency landing” when it was overcome by record heat. A villager found the fledgling resting in his yard in Shaanxi province in mid-August 2022, during the annual migration season for the endangered species. Police officials fed the baby bird glucose and saline, prompting a quick recovery. Shaanxi province has been hit by its strongest heatwave in six decades. Black storks usually migrate from early August until October.
