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.

Swallow?
No

House Martin?
It's in there somewhere - I had it in the bins then it moved when I took the photo

I can see it ... .
Tern?
I'd have said swallow also.
Another possibility, pied wagtail, or one of the wagtail family.

That is correct (Pied wagtail!) I tried and failed to get a photo in flight
