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!

I tried, didn't really get the shot I was after though unfortunately. Framing was a nightmare on a pitching boat with a fast moving bird and a very irritating foreign guy near me with a huge camera and lens who would apear in my shot just as I was about to click. I think he left his consideration head at home.
This was from the same day, still not quite there but you get the idea.
That would have been a wonderful shot, Sunrider. Still good but so frustrating when it could have been perfect.

I need to upgrade my photographic kit but I've just spent all my money on a swaro scope and I'm not sure the wife would be too impressed if a forked out for more toys.
I missed a shot twice in one day. First a Herring Gull stealing a Kittiwake chick at Bempton Cliffs.
Later on I missed a Gannet with another chick. In a way I'm almost glad I missed them.

No problems for me seeing any of the photos you have commented on this morning Alan.
Some of these pictures are good compared to some of mine!

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Have just hit upon this thread and spent a good 1/2 hour being amused. So encouraging to see that I am not alone
woodpecker
Sparrowhawk
While both look as if taken from a moving car, I was using my monopod for first time, obviously missed the other 2 legs.
Fabulous thread! :) I could post so many lol
Can't get any worse than this :)
Oh Deer !!!
A Roe Buck shot across the front of the hide on my local patch this morning. This is what I got.
By the time I got the side window open he was a fair distance away. He looked back at me as if to say, "Is that all you've got?"
And then was off.
