[happy valley]

Hello All,

You all seem like a friendly bunch, so I thought I'd join you and pose my question to you.

I cannot afford night vision goggles and so I have a torch, but I don't want to scare the local wildlife off by shining it at them. I've heard that a red filter would solve the problem but I don't know why this is and what kind of filter would be best. Would I just get a piece of red film and stick it over my torch ?

I've seen badgers and owl's not far from my home and would love to go out and about a bit more in search of other wildlife.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Happy Valley in Bollington, Cheshire (Ian).
