Everyone loves owls, right?

Well, I guess mice, voles and the other creatures owls call prey might disagree, but generally owls are pretty well liked.

Last weekend, we asked you to become a night owl (minus the eating mice bit) and spend a night under the stars as part of Big Wild Sleepout. I hope you joined in!

You can let us know if you did, but what wildlife did you see, or hear? Owls can be pretty noisy, so perhaps you heard a tawny, or, if you're in the countryside a barn owl screeching.

Personally, I'm a fan of little owls. So here's a picture of one that's trying to make itself look anything but little. It's also the last thing it's prey would want to see!
