Next time I go outside to listen to the dawn chorus I’ll take my binoculars with me. We know crossbills live round here but I’ve not caught sight of one yet.

The North York Moors is one of only 21 locations in the world to be recognised for pristine, dark skies. We are in an International Dark Sky Reserve and being on the edge of Dalby Forest there is very little light pollution here.
You can enjoy the night sky from the Nook garden (blankets provided) or on a night time wander, or go along to some of the organised local events during the Dark skies Festivals in early November or February.

Dark Skies Festival events in North York Moors, Yorkshire Dales and South Downs National Parks

There's still time to spot Gannets along the cliffs. Don't forget these magnificent seabirds are on the cliffs until October!
