eyes

s-cogan

bout a week ago, i went up the fields to bring in a few horses, and shone the lamp up towards the wood behind the house and fields. saw a pair of blue eyes. shone the lamp off and then back up a few times and each time the eyes disappeared and came back whenever i shone it on again. i assume they were foxes eyes but i dunno. was using a head-mounted very (very, very) white light lamp.

just wondering can anyone tell me what the eyes were belonged to??
nothing urgent just curious.
thanks lads

feckin cat!! cats have blue eyes--
next time try to estimate the neck swing on the animal or wait til it looks away as see if it responds to a squeak made with your lips on the back of you hand.
If its a cat it prob wont have any fear of lights and will come to investigate;)


foxes defo have orange/golden eye shine but badgers are quite similar!

I get miked up with all the bloody filters i have.
I use neck swing to read if they are deer or such- one eye moving on a big body is a hare. Sheep have blueish eyes and generally they have small neck swing.

Once in total darkness in the woods i recognized the presence of a deer simply be being able to hear it walking! it feckin true!! so don't go laughing the deer approached my campsite- out of curiosity i suppose!
i kept my knife sheathed!;) but it was in my hand out of fear..
Its a strange place- the wood at night when your on you todd.

You just have to try thinking and see things outside the box

It wouldn't be unheard of to have cats living wild! or tame ones straying too far at night.

Can anyone remember what colour rabbit shine is form white light?
Mad,-but I'm not able to remember cause i use the filters too much!

My goodness, don't even mention them!

Perhaps what s-cogan saw was a rabbit on Viagra? Actually, should we ask s-cogan did everything appear blue to him? Maybe we shouldn't eh?

It was most likely a Lycan. Dirty beggers are everywhere these days.

Best be on your guard when your going lamping in future, and don't forget to swap out the lead for silver.


.............or i could be talkin through my hole.

I shot a fox last year that had eyes that had a blueish reflection in the lamp. He ( 3/4 grown young dog ) was sitting half concealed by tall grass on a river bank and I initially didn't believe it was a fox until he moved out of cover a bit and I could clearly see it was a fox. Could have been the angle of the light or something peculiar about that fox but his eyes reflected blueish under a white spotlight.

out for the nags again last sunday
seen the same colour eyses up on a ditch for nearly 20 minutes.
could they be an owl or something??????

lucy333springer

Could of been one of your horses blue eyed boy, from two field's over, lookin for the old (hee haw) on a lovely dark evening. Hope you didn't spoil there his chance:D

pajo65

had a similar experience a few months ago, was using a very bright white LED lamp and came across the "blue eyes" it put the s**ts up me for a start,:eek: but only for the neck swing which was mentioned earlier it did turn out to be a couple of deer in over the ditch,:D

i think it's to do with the white light.

s-cogan

wasnt a horse and no deer in area.
neck swing was small(low, short, whatever the term is for neck swing)
