White Eye Closeup (Zosterops japonicus)

Shooting Cherry Blossoms and the blue sky turned grey so, I opened the camera flash. A White Eye appeared and didn't seem to be bothered, so, I kept on shooting. I used to think this was cruel, but read on a Nature Forum, it's done all the time. Comments ?

o:) Love the tamdem "White-Eye/Cherry Blossom", I find it to be a most attractive subject!!! :t: :t: :clap:

As for the flash, I don't know really, but I don't use just in case! :h?: This guy doesn't seem to be bothered at all, though!
