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!

Hi Sarum Bat
That is definitely not a picture of a Heron, I think you have found the whereabouts of the long lost puppet from the kids TV show "The Pipkins". This is a great thread lots & lots of chuckles.

Unknown said: 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 ;-) I thought this wa s a heron when I took it but now Im having second thoughts! This is a brown budgie-type kestrel! A short-eared owl chick. Honest!!! Lol! SB

These are just wonderful and goes to prove we have a lot more bad shots than good ones, no matter who we are.
Right. I've found one of a treecreeper that I couldn't bear to delete:
and this rather cluttered and dark example of me practicing catching birds in flight:
and IF this is a coal tit, it's the only one I've ever seen on one of my feeders so I didn't delete it:
