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.

LOL PB, I use Gorilla tape, it sticks to anything and everything (it's held the poorly made and frayed camouflage lens cover together for two years !) - although you have to watch your fingers don't get stuck together when you are using it as there's no escape - ever !
I suppose it's not the end of the world, but that out of focus twig covering the bird's feet completely ruins it for me!

I have loads of these and many worse ... definitely a fab bird but always a twig or three (or an entire bush) in the way and in such a dark spot it was almost impossible to freeze rapid movement
A tufted duck that decided to turn just as the picture was being taken!
Very anti-social.....

Only I could get a bird winking with it's third eyelid!
