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 guess you can call it the first bird ever as I only started putting a dish of food out a week or so ago and we saw nothing until yesterday when the robin turned up. We did have a woodpigeon and a magpie that landed on the rail shortly after we moved in but I don't count it as a proper visit as they were only passing and no food was on offer !! I've just bought waxworms which will arrive tomorrow so the robin will get a treat ! At least it is not costing me £1200 a year like it did before when we had the large garden I've put the better pic on Robins for MC thread.

I'm not participating in BGBW as my total count - if I am really lucky - would be 1 x Robin LOL
Can't even count the Redwings on the parkland as they've all done a bunk lol
post edit\; Saturday looks to be very good weather with sunshine - so far ! I might count the waterfowl on Radnor Mere lol
