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.

a few more to add from the other day ...........
the squirrels being as mischievous as ever, chasing one another around the garden; this one decided to go into attack mode lol
haven't a clue what Cyril is doing in this shot lol
if you zoom in you will see bits of fur following their locked in wrestling match ......
could have been a good pic if I had managed to get the whole wing in !
If I'd taken those pics I'd be very proud. I think that Cyril's doing press ups.
Kind regards
Jenny
Great selection of nearlys, H. I'll add one of mine
Too slow on the shutter.

cheers Tony, Can't beat a Jay photo even at wrong speed lol the settings can often be a right fiddle in our ever changing light and weather conditions. I've still got the 1.4 extender on the camera as I need to get used it and learn to love it lol; also makes me practice more !
@ Jenny, thanks, wish I could have got the animals/birds in the whole frame lol
Well time to join the bad photo thread, this was the first outing with a new camera at minsmere a few weeks ago. Camera has a 30x zoom so we thought photo thiebird and identify later?
Still no idea. But it was a lovely walk around our favourite reserve. Wish we lived nearer than a 2 hr drive.

One I regret missing
Oh for a faster trigger finger (or shutter speed) :-)
cheers Terry
my photo's here
oooh, what a beauty to see Terry, so close to being the perfect pic but hope you got other opportunities.
These are added from our trip to Deeside the other day when the Redshanks kept going out of frame lol
and there are two common redshanks in this pic as there are four legs and four wings ................. !!
I've got some more as well. There's a water rail in there somewhere.
Second go.
