A bird that likes to make  itself heard - Jim's study of a curlew

PRINTS of a painting of a curlew by Jim Moir (also known as comedian Vic Reeves) are now on sale for £300.

The species featured in the first episode of the series, Painting Birds with Jim and Nancy Moir, that is currently running on the Sky Arts TV channel.

The show features the couple as they explore some of Britain’s best beauty spots, joined along the way by a few famous friends. 

Their challenge? Create an original piece of bird art celebrating the unique species native to that region over the course of a weekend.

Says the publicity for the programme: " Accompanied in each episode by local twitchers, artists and conservation experts, Jim, and Nancy are guided through forest and fen as they venture through wild countryside and bird reserves to gather inspiration. 

"They spend meditative weekends sketching and painting their feathery subjects, tackling everything from grouse to goshawks and bitterns to bearded tits."

The bird to be featured on Wednesday April 26 (8pm) is the chough.
