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 took plenty of bad pics of fab wildlife in Sri Lanka but this is probably the worst of the lot. Gutted, as it's a stunning bird that I didn't really expect to see - Indian Pitta. Semi-nocturnal, lurks in shady, well-vegetated areas. I opened my room door at 5.50am and there it was, but I could only get a shutter speed of 1/4 of a second. Bah. Still, very glad to see it :)
This is what it's supposed to look like: http://www.birdforum.net/opus/images/thumb/1/13/Indian_Pitta1.jpg/550px-Indian_Pitta1.jpg
So sorry you didn't get that really clear photo you wanted Aiki but even a blurred photo is better than no photo at all and at 5.30 am. you did well to see anything at all ! I took a look at that link and it is certainly a bird that only most of us could dream of seeing so you're way ahead of us LOL Sounds like you had a fab time in Sri Lanka and got to see some wonderful birds/wildlife :) it is an amazing country but it was 1982 when I went there on a 10 day trip.
