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.

OK, it was flying fast straight at me and the autofocus was struggling, but then the grass leapt into focus :-( the lizard looks a bit miserable though!
"Let loose the Kraken!"

Great capture, Stuart. I agree with Hazy, too good for this thread. Look at those amazing dark falcon eyes.

You should have seen it before the 15 minutes worth of Photoshopping ;-)
Methinks the general consensus is that you should relocate this great capture Stuart!
OK, OK. Never let it be said that I don't bow to popular demand ;-)
Don't you just hate it when this happens? Mrs WJ isn't immune to photo-bombing greenery either!

I bet that grass stalk wasn't there in the viewfinder, they just sneak in when you blink. ;-)
'If I can't see you then you can't see me'--that Bittern is still determined to be camouflaged behind that grass stalk!
Kind regards, Ann
