After reading the article found on the link below, it really made me reconsider spotlighting (and using a flash), especially on noctural fauna.

Re: [BIRDING-AUS] Camera flash and bird eyesight





Interesting reading
Personally I think it is a bit of a mountain out of a mole hill.
Having taken bird photos for a couple of years now - and mostly
using fill fash in day light - I cant honestly see a problem with it.
I am sure they have to endure much worse from the sun and enviounmental
stresses than from a flash. I can say that from oberservation that
they rarely react to a flash at all.
