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 may have spotted the water, albeit small, on a fly past, and felt a visit to check out the water life was required.
Our pond isn't big, but we had a regular heron visit for a few years up till last year. Whether its moved on, feeding the daisies or what I don't know.

Possible, it could also be a fairly young adult, exploring its territory and seeking out food sources, along with a host of many scenarios.
We'll never fully know the answer, but nice to see.
Missed it!

The Linnet was so busy singing it didn't notice me for quite a while and yet I still managed to make a mess of the photo
It's wee Jenny wren!
