Further details
In this Christmas Special, the Moirs search out festive feathered friends at Penshurst Place in Kent. Here, they make friends with a Snowy Owl before joining old pal Bob Mortimer for an artistic rendition of the Robin. But it's the Waxwing that holds Jim and Nancy's heart as the perfect Christmas bird - so together with their daughters, they head to Finland to look for these beautiful creatures as they feast on berries. Along the way they create traditional decorations with a Lappish artist in a magical cottage and attempt to recreate the Northern lights on canvas around a nocturnal campfire in the forest.
