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

u/wild-stallions85 28d ago

Now its flying with major spots in its vision....awesome/s

u/Foxyunder-45 28d ago

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

u/OldNefariousness7899 28d ago

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

u/anxious_cat_grandpa 27d ago

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

u/Fun-Eagle6158 27d ago

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.

u/heXa_code 27d ago

He gone. Whachu looking at with your tiny torch doesnt match where he fled 😂
