- Its legal in Australian parks (but few people do it). Many animals seem
- little disturbed. However waterfowl seem to go beserk if the spotlight
- hits them. I try to avoid this. Wallabies don't seem keen on it either.

- I ment to mention that when taking photgraphs if someone else holds the
- spotlight still at a reasonable distance you seem to be able to approach
- closer for a photo without scaring the bird.
