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!

Yep, spot on Alan.
Seen on my recent trip to Estonia. In my defence it was nearly dark and the pic has been considerably lightened. No prizes but would anyone care to suggest what it is?
Close but even smaller. Think of a small tribe in Africa.
LOL. I believe the smallest of the European owls. I'm sure there's an even smaller one somewhere in the world.
The Elf Owl from North America is the world's smallest (12-14cm). At 17-19cm a Pygmy Owl could have an Elf Owl for breakfast :)
Elf and Safety might have something to say about that !!!!
LOL!
Here's one which was out of focus at the rear end but wished it had been a complete blur LOL !! This Nuthatch had suddenly turned around, ready for take off as I lined up my shot !
