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!

Awww, that is such bad luck Bob, so frustrating when that happens ........ yesterday, I had such a short opportunity to get a cracking shot of a Buzzard right overhead, low down with blue sky behind it but as I was on a narrow pathway with tall shrubs/trees to each side it was impossible to even get the autofocus to engage (as quick as it is) before the bird was out of the viewfinder :( I truly sympathise and to think yours was a Peregrine ..... waaaaaaghhhhh ! Did you post the other photo up of it flying away from you ? bet that photo opportunity got your hear racing but sorry you didn't get a second chance as it turned back towards you.

Hi there, although you all say that these pictures are bad, I think they are impressive. Here I have one of my own for you: You see on the first sight a Great Tit having a bath. There is a blurr on the left side of the bath. There was a Nuthatch approaching. He obviously wanted to have a bath himself, but the presence of theTit took him so by surprise that he sat down only for a second before leaving again.
And there follows the proof:
