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 dropped the fishing rod and grabbed the camera for this sea eagle carrying a gull back to its chick. It was such a special sight that only a silhouette could do it justice..
Green turtle in the grass ? no, just a Green Woodpecker doing a turtle impression lol

Can you tell what it is yet? Unfortunately I didn't manage a not bad pic of this fab wildlife!
Was almost dark in the garden, 1st shot was through glass, and as I carefully, silently (Ithought!) opened the door, he flew up to the tree at the bottom of the garden
You know they do it on purpose, right?!
Kind regards, Ann
Mart 1 said:Great captures of your not very co-operative models Mike. As any modern criminal the Squirrel trys to cover his identity while in action , of course :-) (mind me if this feeder is especially for Squirrels. Haven't seen this kind before.)
Thank you.
I've got some better photos of the red squirrel, which I've yet to post (I had forgotten in the excitement of the kingfisher and heron photos), though they are in the October 2019 Album in my Flickr Account.
The squirrel box, is one of many at Plas Newydd, Anglesey, North Wales. Whether it is unique to there, or a standard design, I've no idea, but it works, and the reds manage to get their food, and we manage to get some good piccies.
