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!

These are all fantastic - just spent ages viewing all 24 pages, often with eyes streaming!

God gave us two ears and one mouth for a very good reason!
I've just looked back at all 24 pages and am crying with laughter - although some people were cheating and posting good ones! LOL.
Here's one of my one and only sighting of a crossbill. I wouldn't care, but I had all the time in the world to get it right!!
Cheers, Linda.

I'm so glad this thread is amusing people all over again, and it's good to see some new contributions too :)
My next offering shows how critical it is to time your shot perfectly...
... and this one shows why it's best not to try to photograph wildlife while on the phone, as it's hard to hold and point a 300mm lens where you want it with one hand. I do hope the Blue Tit finds his legs, I'm sure they can't have gone far :(
This one could double up as one Seymour's quiz questions.

An optimist sees the beauty of the complete rose.A pessimist sees only the thorn .
Love this thread!
Sadly, I've deleted some of my more disastrous efforts, but here's one I've kept - a black-headed (or perhaps no-headed!) gull taking off...
OMG My sides are aching! Thanks all! You've just made a rather tiresome day so much better. I fear I won't get to sleep tonight - I'm going to be chuckling every five minutes!!
