Isle of Wight featured on BBC Radio 4’s Tweet of the Day with Anneka Rice

If you are a regular listener to BBC Radio 4, you may have heard the Isle of Wight mentioned on Sunday.

Anneka Rice, who has a home in Seaview on the Island, presented the one minute Tweet of the Day programme.

This has nothing to do with Twitter (currently known as X), but is the BBCR4 programme about birds.

In her wonderfully velvety voice, Anneka talks about the deep guttural calls of a cormorant, who perches on a rock near her home.

You can listen to Anneka’s Tweet of the Day on BBC Sounds website.
