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.

It was very much of the era we grew up in.
I trust you had a good holiday on Anglesey?

Time to go now. Zooooom........
Not a brilliant photo, but I was curious as to what this possible wader might have been, at the extreme of my optics focusing range, and it turned out to be a juvenile starling bathing on the waters edge.
A nuthatch, among the branches.....
Very gloomy dark day today up at Leighton Moss and the photos were no better lol

Though some "Moustached reedlings" were trying to evade the camera, luckily you managed to get some brilliant shots of them.
Kind regards, Ann

Was that red plumage or was something feeling very embarrassed at having their photo taken in an uncompromising position!
Just thinking out aloud......
