Anneka Rice on the White-Tailed Eagle

With the largest wingspan of any British bird the white-tailed eagle is a welcome sight flying over the Solent near Anneka Rice's home.

A new series of Tweet of the Day for Sunday morning revealing personal and fascinating stories from some fresh voices who have been inspired by birds, their calls and encounters.

With the largest wingspan of any British bird the White-tailed eagle is a welcome sight flying over the Solent near broadcaster Anneka Rice's home. Yet despite its size, this bird has a surprisingly weak call. Since they were re-introduced to the area these magnificent birds have become a bit of a tourist attraction for those on the ferry crossing over to the Isle of Wight.
