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!

God gave us two ears and one mouth for a very good reason!
I said I would try to post some of my awful shots here, so here's one... GSW on next door neighbour's feeder... was on ours, saw me getting camera out and obviously fled in horror...
And a LSW - my excuse this time was that I was so excited, I just pointed and clicked (neighbours benefited again, although he went to ours first!) Last one I saw was 8 years ago, so can't possibly delete this horrible pic.
Peepo! (Perhaps this one isn't quite awful enough for this thread... )
But this one is... The very rare Beakless Pixellated Wagtail. Ta-dah!
Thanks to all contributors for encouraging us to enjoy our wildlife, however badly we photograph it. And for a good laugh!!! Best wishes, RosyF

An optimist sees the beauty of the complete rose.A pessimist sees only the thorn .
A simply stunning picture of a Water Rail! This was my first (and only) sighting of that elusive little reed dweller. I heard a gentle rustling coming from the edge of the path I was walking along, and assumed it would be a moorhen or a coot.... I nealy dropped my camera when I saw what it was, no more than a couple of feet away from me!
I just had enough time to grab the lens cover off and take one picture before the little blighter disappeared into the grass. It was a only a brief moment in time, but one I will certainly never forget!

Thanks for that link TeeJay! What a helpful little map for us poor lost souls! I think I'll be bookmarking this page for future reference...
Two female Blackbirds having a ding-dong. What a pity I messed up the shot.
I love your blackbirds, TJ. So which one jumped the queue in the hairdressers? Here's a heavily cropped male Blackbird having a feast in my garden.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Loving this thread!! I think 99% of my photos would fit in nicely here, but here are a couple of little garden visitors snapped from my kitchen window :)
Can you tell what it is yet...?
Wrens bottom!
