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!

Just caught up on this thread again. It is so funny, I'm only sorry I can't comment on all the pics. .............
LOL Sparrow, thats hilarious........ I bet you were gutted.
I watched 7 bluetit babies this year, in a nest box with camera. I failed to get any pics of them leaving the nest, even though I waited right outside the nest box for hours. When I went in to check, the box was empty. I call that ingratitude.
These are a couple of my first sightings of the babies outside...........rubbish, but they make me laugh.
Kind regards Jane.
This thread is so funny! I'm sat here on my own laughing out loud.
I do what Seymour and Woodpecker do too but I have a few that definitely qualify, actually quite a lot that qualify ;-)

Love this thread, soooo much fun. These 2 pics are my usual standard of photography. Not a headless chicken but a headless peahen and the 'V' thing in the 2nd pic is a buzzard - honestly!
Bad?! You ain't seen nothing yet.....
Every day a little more irate about bird of prey persecution, and I have a cat - Got a problem with that?
My best ever Sparrowhawk shot
Hmmm, Lyndy, your second pic looks an awful lot like a Swallow when viewed full size...!
