Urban fox at night

[horse.collier]

Trying to photograph some urban foxes but not getting the right results.

Foxes are used to seeing people and can get as close as 10 yds to the old dog fox.

Ambient light is from those orange street lights and well lit.

Am using d 7500 with a 70-200mm constant f2. 8 through out.

Tried auto iso and manual iso but with varying results, but none that are working out.

Was thinking of flash but would that spook them too much?

Fixed led light cast a shadow from the lens, or vice versa.

Its a very public area so cannot leave anything in place so they get used to it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Could try a low power portable work light?
Stand it to one side of you, or small torch taped to the lens hood?
A flash probably isn't a good idea, last thing you want to do is spook it and it to run into the road.
I'm guessing your shutter speed is as low as you can go?

Good luck!
