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.

I've never tried using a tablet through a scope; it was worth a try.
Is that a flotilla of Long-tailed Ducks, John?

Yes, there were about 30 close enough to hear their decidedly distinctive calls. I really need to get a phonescoping adaptor doodad (and the right sort of phone).
Every day a little more irate about bird of prey persecution, and I have a cat - Got a problem with that?
You wouldn't think this was part of courtship feeding !! the female magpie was quivering her wings, opening her bill and begging her mate for food - I think she startled him as he jumped in the air lol !! Here's the bad pic sequence .....................

A few more from today, the Kestrels never do what you want them to do when you point a camera at them ! He was a handsome bird though.
post edit: found a couple of robin pics for Paul from yesterday !
one in a bit of a flap .............
and one trying to tap-dance ............

inanimate objects in the wrong places!
Don't you just hate it when inanimate objects jump into frame like that. I know I do!
