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!

Davenboy, Fan-tailed Warbler is another name for Zitting Cisticola (which always sounds like a horrible disease to me!) They are quite common in southern Europe but are very rare visitors to the UK.
Thanks aiki, must admit Zitting Cisticola does sound like a disease you would keep secret. Lol. Any welly recommendations?

Took a five minute break from delivering to look out on the river wear just in time to see a grey Heron flying around trying to land but being mobbed by a gang of delinquent Gulls.I grabbed my camera and started taking shots,after he finally landed a cormorant took off so I followed him too. Took few more of the Heron and a couple of a Redshank then looked at my pics RATS !!I'd forgotten to reset my aperture and iso so ended up taking everything at 1/15 sec @f10 and iso 200,and then noticed the ev compensation was +1..........definately a bang my head off the nearest hard object moment Lol
Cormorant
