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!

Here's my very first photo of a Hen Harrier, taken at RSPB Elmley Marshes. At least it's a nice clear photo of the hide from which I'd have been able to see the harrier much better (and I would have been in that hide if I hadn't received an exceptionally ill-timed phone call half an hour before...!)
How about this Bittern from today? Well, it's in there somewhere....!

Ooh, a Goldeneye in a hurry. You'll have to be quicker than that Alan

One of those great but awful moments! Woodcock caught in the headlights as I drove up the track to our cottage - camera on the back seat (well it was dark) so grabbed phone and stuck it out of the window. Actually I'm surprised I got anything.

God gave us two ears and one mouth for a very good reason!
I appear to have a Robin with 4 legs and not sure what happened to the BT trying to land on the Robin's feeder dish lol
That BT needs breath testing! Good optical illusion of that robin's tail though!
