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!

Deer, if you squint
Juno, the small tweety thing is IDable - it's a male Chaffinch. I am assuming the Peregrine has just gone behind the clouds for a moment...
The best till last, Ladies and Gentlemen, quite obviously a................ Red Kite. !
Thanks, the Bird got in the way of the UFO I was photographing.
Oooh, I have just found Mr aiki's first Peregrine photo, the one that convinced him he needed a better camera :)
(it really was a Peregrine, I actually had quite a good view through my bins!)
Okay. I can relate to these last few!!
A Skylark - making a hasty escape!!
P x
hmmm, I'm not sure we can rule out Japanese Skylark from that pic, Pipit... better call the Rarities Committee, just in case :)
ha, Mr aiki just got home, and was outraged that I was posting his rubbish photos on the internet :) Then he said 'oh, you have to post that Little Owl picture I took with the old camera.' I'd forgotten about that one and I didn't have a copy so he sent it to me. He had no idea he was photographing a Little Owl at the time (we were just wandering round a local park and he thought it was 'a pigeon') so didn't point it out to me, then when we got home and I looked at the pictures I was dismayed that I'd missed it! Anyway, here it is...
Pfft!!!!
You guys are amateurs at bad photos :) I dump loads b4 I download the SD card, then dump again after a quick review on my TV, then dump more when I get the pics on my PC... and even after keeping a few nasties as mystery photos I somehow missed THIS ATROCIOUS TRAVESTY :)))))

ps- it's a Lesser Grey Shrike in Norfolk :)

I've got one like that. Believe it or not this is a white-tailed eagle.
