Admittedly it was at night with only my built in flash with red-eye reduction, and the outside light on which is about 100 watts almost 10ft away. I live in the middle of a forest and get many night time visitors, badgers, foxes deer, etc,and would love to photograph them, but I don't think my camera is up to it 
Help any advice welcome.

Jo,
I have just had a little tweek on the contrast and that has made the image less flat.
Night time is difficult as you have to introduce light a bit at a time to keep your visitors. Attatch a link to my Badger shot which was lit by 3 60watt bulbs. The Badgers were enticed to the spot with raisins ( they love them, and will spend a bit of time there if you spinkle them around ). I had to wind the ISO setting up to max though and that is visible as noise in the dark parts of the image.

Your tweeked image attatched.
Hopefully we will draw an expert in.
