A pair of rare white-tailed sea eagles have been spotted in west Suffolk.

The species, which is Britain's largest bird of prey with a wingspan of up to 2.5m (8.2ft), was driven to extinction in the UK in the 20th Century.

A reintroduction programme has helped the birds, nicknamed "flying barn doors", return to the Britain.

Birdwatchers, who were alerted to the rare sighting, have said they feel "lucky" to have now seen one of the birds.
