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.

One of these days I will get a diving duck arching over the water with just its beak in the water and not its whole head!
Still a nice clear photo Nige.

The raised decking is nice to have, but it can be a pain between the back door and the feeders when the robin launches itself vertically for the sunflower hearts!
Lovely (not so )bad pics of fab wildlife again, Hazel, PimperneBloke and Nigel! Love the capture of that elegantly diving duck (a Pochard, is it?)
And for comparison with your Long-tailed Tit , Hazel , I can offer a shot of our more eastern, white-headed subspecies
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Can anyone of the rspb community ID this raptor for me (4pics of the same bird ) , in spite of the poor foto-quality?
I thought it was a Northern Goshawk, because I saw these birds in the same area before -as well the tail is quite long and slim on three of the 4 captures (different from Eurasian Buzzard, the other proposed "suspect", which can be found in the same area, too.)
All my best wishes and a good weekend to all at rspb community
