Sighting in Scotland that left Jim Moir and wife Nancy dizzy with delight

Painting Birds with Jim and Nancy Moir (Sky Arts, free to air, Wednesday, 9pm) is back for a new series. Next week finds the Moirs in Cairngorms in search of the crested tit, described by Jim as “the punk rocker of the bird world” for its striking plume. Jim takes up the role of tour guide as the mountains come into view. “They were formed 40 million years ago,” he tells Nancy. “What, like you?” she replies.
