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.

They're flighty buggers, considering they don't have wings!!
Pied Flycatcher .... I think juv. but never managed to get a decent photo, as it was in my garden I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will stick around and feed up for a few days

grey cloudy day and a silhouette of a Swallow taking off - thought it showed the wing length well and to show what wingspan they need to cross the Sahara !

That's a fabulous photos Hazel
Time is running out to get a decent Swallow in flight this year. I seem to have the same issue as even when I managed to get one in focus over the weekend, it lacked facial detail.

lol Nige, I'd love that shot in place of mine and I'd also like that blue sky ! I always find birds with dark faces like swallows, great tit, coal tit, etc, are often so difficult to highlight their finer facial features (even when tweaking the over exposure slider a tad more on flight shots) - they all get lost in the black plumage !
