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.

Heard a commotion amongst the corvids today whilst I was photographing the smaller garden birds - by the time I turned around I realised I'd just missed the Common Buzzard calling in to the garden - so this is all you get ............ drat !! lol

Not a bad pic as such just one that was too far away.
A drake Garganey on my local patch. Quite a scarce bird for me. It's still around so will have to try again.

Male Marsh Harrier which was at the other side of the Causeway pool, far to far away to get any sort of decent photo; took the shot only to crop hard and zoom in to see what it had caught; looks like possibly a large duckling :(
Kind regards, Ann
