Bad pics of fab wildlife :)

Just because there's way too much great photography on this site...!

You know the feeling. You only got one or a few photos of it and they're not very good, but you can't bear to throw the photos away because they're all you have of that particular species. So you keep them, just until you get better ones :) We've managed to 'upgrade' some of the species below since these bad pics were taken, but not all...

Please join in! I can't be the only one who hordes terrible wildlife photos :)

Collared Flycatcher

Otter

Peregrine

and best (worst) of all, Nightjar!

  • Pygmy Owl through the scope in Poland. Only one I've got so can't bear to delete it.

    Black-winged Kite again through the scope.

    Wall Creeper. Close enough to get a good shot but due to incompetence of photographer (me) didn't get a good one. How frustrating is that.

    I could go on but won't. It'll just make me depressed.

    I'm loving these!

    Aiki, you are so right!! The excitement and the thrill is intoxicating!!!

    TJ - never seen photos like yours before. They are like works of art!!!

    This forum is so brilliant because it shares with us all sorts of magical moments from all sorts of cameras and all sorts of situations. Every 'snap' crackles and pops too in my book (tee hee)
