whilst in the hide photographing previous fox pics, this fox came out of the blue on my blind side and walked right up to hide, shot was taken in haste because of suprise visitor
That's certainly close.
Looks a little over-exposed on the white areas though and quite noisy in the background, a little noise reduction would be easy enough to apply though.

As per my comments on your previous posts - great subjects, but a shame about the noise and softness in the image.
It would help if you could explain what the lighting conditions were at the time as that may help to in turn explain the camera settings you have used.
You needed more depth of field here, and it is a pity that the ears are cropped.
Smaller in the frame would have solved both of the above. If it wasn’t spooked, then tracking it as it went away, and then making a small noise, would have invariably given you a head turn, job done.
You know where they are, so I’m sure you will have more opportunities, might need some lateral thinking, but that’s what invariably it is all about.
