    Most animals I believe respond to seeing two eyes, something to do with predators looking at them? There is some field craft involved as it were. I'm just pointing out he doesn't NEED to go and buy full camo and start crawling around as that must be a real ball ache way to waste an afternoon if it doesn't work.

    It's always that thing that if you see a rabbit/pigeon off to one side it clocks you but stays there. If you turn to use both eyes (as a predator would to judge distance etc) the scarper. Obviously not an all round working model.....

    Nope your right.....,

    It's also fun to get camo'd up sit & fall asleep for 20mins to the rabbits wake you by nibbling your toe!!
