Old thread here: http://www.rspb.org.uk/community/chat/f/2542/t/22684.aspx
Because the original thread has, fittingly enough, 'gone bad', it's time for a new 'Bad pics' thread. Here, we celebrate the very worst of our wildlife photography. The subject matter is always brilliant, but the photos are very much not. If it's out of focus, chopped in half, frighteningly under- or over-exposed or terrible in some other way, it belongs here :)
Here's my first (first of many, no doubt) contribution to the new thread, a Goldcrest taken at Barnes yesterday. You need only minor incompetence to take a blurry photo, and the same to take a really under-exposed photo, but to do both in one go requires a special level of cackhandedness.

One more to get things properly underway here. Spawning Pikes are amazing to watch, engaged in a spectacular, sinuous and beautiful aquatic ballet. That's if you're watching them underwater. From above the surface, you'll see a bit of splashing and if you're lucky the occasional glimpse of a fin.
Yoohoo ... found you & by Jove, it all works!!
Many thanks for your poetic signing off in poor broken old thread A & your very humorous start here!
Tears of laughter streaming now at your pics & comments ... an exceedingly worthy first post which sets the bar 'way up there'!!

Well done, aiki, and so eloquently introduced. I shall have no problem in sinking to the low standards demanded.
I can't remember whether I've shown this one before but in any case it deserves a second showing. Even my best efforts with Lightroom can't resurrect this one.

True, I think MC has surpassed himself with that one.
