What's the rule about flash? (1 Viewer)

I posted this last night, but it got lost in cyberspace. Here it is again:
New at all of this, but I read a post in which someone complained that they would have taken a better shot of a boat-billed heron (illuminated by the guide by a flood light--now that's invasive enough, I should think!) had they used a flash. Is that allowed? I shouldn't think so. What is the rule? Where I live, if you are seen on the beach at night when the ridley turtles are arriving with a flashlight, you are shown the door. As it should be. I know that I would never, ever, flash a target, but do I have some authority to whop those who do?
