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!

My failed shot of today.
Getting Nuthatch in flight is difficult.
Dont you just love it when you line up a great shot and the subject bird decides to turn round and show you it's bum. Perhaps he was trying to tell me something!

Let not your heart be troubled
Seeing as I posted a bad picture of a "sulky starling" yesterday, I thought I'd have a trawl through all of my old photographs, and find some more less than great ones for you, following a theme of "disgruntled birds" - so here you are, I hope you enjoy!The first few are of birds who chose to turn ther backs on me;
The next few are of those who decided to hightail it away from me;
And this last one is a blue tit who didn't know what to do, so it just chose to hide from me ;)

Oh dear, I've only just discovered this thread and I really should be doing some work, but this is much more fun, and I just had to look back through all 20 odd pages... Love it. Here is one of mine I'm particularly proud of - I blame the steamed up windows, but it could just be the photographer....I am
Hehehe love it titwillow, I must say there are lots of blurry birds out there at the moment - must be the cold weather or something!!! Keep up the good work ;)
starlings fighting over my fat balls! Soooooooooo blurry, but it is an action shot!! Ha Ha.
Another rear view.

Yet more blurry/miserable birds courtesy of FTB and Sarah - great stuff, both ;)
Hi folks, I have a few more for you to chuckle at, all from yesterday and today. They follow no theme other than utter rubbishness.
I know what you're thinking.....that's a blurry pound coin, right???
WRONG!! It's the moon, silly!!
Bullfinch. In the dark. Really good idea, Anna.
These next two illustrate perfectly my capacity to be an utter nincompoop when placing bird feeders:
Note to self: black metal poles are just as visible through a camera lens as they are through the naked eye. Use your brain, woman!!
And if anybody can tell me what bird I was attempting to photograph on the table, I will give you £1,000,000
(You know I won't actually give you £1,000,000, but you can have that smug sense of satisfaction that comes from getting an answer right instead!!)
Grey Wagtail at Hanningfield reservoir....nice to see it back again !!!
Feed The Birds....not the cats!!!!
I know....my spelling's crap !!
