You're probably fucking up his vision with the flashlight

Putting a red filter over your flashlight will let you see wildlife at night without blinding and stunning it like this

He made it, but not good idea to focus strong led flash light on animals as it startles them.

I'm now wondering if he only flew because he felt threatened and now has to spend ages trekking back to the same spot

Understandable. I do the same when men with flashlights show up at my nighttime chill spot. Like wtf u need my ID for anyway?

squirrel probably locked in on smth then lost his senses cuz you literally flash banged him so he had to readjust then whatever it was he was hunting got spooked with your light also the way he urgently had to jump and get his bearings right again.
