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 was pleased with this picture:
It's the only male hen harrier I've ever seen. Taken at Wicken Fen some time after sunset it was going to be a slow shutter speed and the camera wouldn't be able to focus in the low light so I got it to focus on the treeline then took as many pics as I could in the few seconds it passed. You can see big grey bird, black wingtips, white rump, what more do you need?
