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.

Fox in the garden!
Fox! He's looking right at me!
Fox! No, really ...

This sparrow must have told a lot of lies:
Like a lot of people I find photographing small birds a challenge at this time of year with so much foliage to contend with. Out on a walk yesterday a large mixed flock of Tits were moving from tree to tree and disappearing as soon as they landed, finally this Long Tail sat in the open but would it look at the camera.
Then it moved and turned round behind a twig.
The Blue Tits weren't any more obliging.
At least I did see them for once.
