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 wouldn't mind but I don't have a clue what type of bird it was supposed to be LOL a gull of some sort I guess ?

Not sure MC, it is such a bad pic I don't have any idea, happy to accept any clues so thanks for the suggestion, I will go look it up in my bird book !
Crikey, Hazy, you sure are throwing some curve balls with this one. To me it looks like a bit like a Guillemot. Is that possible? Where did you see it?

I thought Guillemot but the pictures I have seem to indicate black legs. These seem to be pinkish (assuming that's what we can see).
Good point, MC. I'm stuggling with this one. Aiki, where are you?

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Well, it looks very much like a guillemot except for the orange feet - which a black guillemot has. Very confused!!
