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!

Great stuff guys - here's my contribution, which as you can tell is a thoughtful and well composed study of a buzzard... (alas, it only has one head!)

Hi Aiki
This is what wildlife photography is all about. We all have lots of pictures like these but they capture the moment and will always remind you of that day.
Birds will always move or be just that little too far off but it doesn't make the picture any worst than any other. You have that picture where others don't.
Here is my purple heron picture with a grey in the foreground. It was just too far away.
This is my shot that I just can't delete...I was so pleased to have seen it. A bad photo of an osprey but I'm still keeping it!!

Tee hee Sparrow - I would have to start a new thread called "Fab Wildlife must be protected from the following terrible pics"
You'll be lucky xxx

This thread is Genius!!
Pip, I phrased that very carefully for maximum innuendo potential :D
Another advantage of this genre of photography is that we can use our imaginations and see exciting alternatives to the species actually photographed. For example, Cartimandua's pic clearly shows Britain's first Hawk-headed Parrot :)
