    Thanks everyone. and especially Mysyk for the work involved in this.
    This is part of a project I commented on in the comments section.

    This is one of two foxes I have been to photographing at night for a while now.
    Getting these shots has taken about a month sitting and watching,she routinely follows the same path every night checking the same gardens etc, so I just sat on the path, kerb opposite her route with out a camera for a few weeks on and off till she got used to me. (the Gardai have been called a couple of times)
    Eventually she got used to me and has confidence that I wont hurt her, I am just part of the street to her now, she has got to recognize the car now and will come over as I arrive.
    That a wild animal will come and share a moment with you especially considering she is not been fed is an amazing feeling.
    This was 50mm @ F3.2 iso400 1/250 with flash

    Lovely shot Bernard. Was that with popup or external flash and how does the fox react to the flash?

    Thanks Redape99, it's an external flash. As they are urban it doesn't bother them at all. I suppose they are used to cars and security lights.
