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!

I think it's very unkind of you to keep throwing that poor sprawk around just for the sake of a funny photo... lol

It was only a matter of time before I had a 'decent' bad picture of BR and here it is. I was following him around and he suddenly stopped and looked up at me. I waited for the perfect moment and just as I pressed the button, BR decided he had posed long enough and took off, leaving me with a red blob in the middle of the picture!

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Oh d'you know, this thread ought to be published as a book. I've read it through a dozen times and I still end up with aching sides and tears running down my face. Best cure for the Blues ever.
Thanks All
