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!

Hello Paul,
no offence meant, but no fishing for compliments please! So far, I haven't seen really bad pictures from you.
Who was this anyway? It looks like a Chiffchaff.
Yours, Bente
Looks like a Lesser Spotted Blurblob bird to me B ... Very common in Scotland I am told!! Lol

Bente: A combination of a 2 second self timer, mirror lock activated and a dull day all contributed to this shot of a Sparrowhawk. I'm so glad that aiki started this thread because as I'm sure you know, for every good photo there are 10 disasters lurking in the background. Thanks aiki.!!
My bird photos HERE
I took this one on the River Ebro in Tortosa, Southern Spain last week while on holiday. I believe that it's a wagtail of some sort but it moved before I could get a better look/picture!!
He's lost it again !!
Probably lying on the ground at base of TP!
LOL Wendy, I seem to have a male Mallard with the same problem of missing head !!
