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.

lol Nige, no idea as it was more like a total free-for-all and I couldn't get a clear shot through the window ! I don't often put the ground tray out in summer months but when I do the Jay becomes quite possessive over the stash and goes into complete freeze mode first if another corvid approaches ….. and then switches to attack mode lol For a small corvid they are not shy when it comes to defending a food source but they do back off if the crows come ! like this ………

A stunning goosander at Bolton Abbey last week
Here is a kingfisher I battled with all day around a week ago. I entered the hide and he flew away. I turned my camera off and he landed on the perch. I stood up to leave, he came back, and I ended up with this...
Looking at Birds on Purpose
I love t his thread, the shots that would normally be discarded get an airing....
Not even a fancy new camera was quick enough to catch this dunnock!
Schoolboy error on this one, I didn't check the settings....
