From the 20th July to the 27th September, 89 giant owl art structures could be found in the streets across the city of Birmingham; each owl individually decorated by a different artist.
This event known as 'The Big Hoot 2015', sponsored by various local businesses and organisations, culminated with a sale-by-auction of the attractive owls with all money raised going to the Birmingham's Children's Hospital.
From June to September in 2022, a similar event - The Big Hoot 2022 - is to be held in Ipswich, Suffolk, to raise money for the St. Elizabeth Hospice.
In total, 40 designed and illustrated 'Big Hoot' owls will be placed around the historic town.
