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.

"Let loose the Kraken!"
Hazy. Breaking the rules again. I think they`re all brilliant..However,Where`s the missing"Blurry Bullfinch with focused Linnets"photo?
kind of you Edge but I was struggling with the Time Value setting and photographing these white birds; no blurry Bullfinch and in focus Linnet to show you in same pic but I do have another headless and blurry L.Egret lol
Goldie getting caught in a snow storm of fluffy thistle heads lol
Sorry Hazel - that one's too good ;-)
One day I shall emulate Hazy and get a good photo of a Goldcrest - but not yet. LOL
