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!

lol Alan, no CT survived just about ! I have a few pics of baby CT looking big and fluffy; ever looked out of the window and thought you had a Marsh Tit in your garden for the first time only to find out it is CT ? LOL !!
I think we should rename the thread 'Wildlife you'd love to even get the chance to take a bad picture of. :-)
Is it a bird...? Let's hope so!

This should have been a crow. It was a crow, but it took off! You can just see the tip of the tail in the top left hand corner. Apart from that, I was left with a few splashes of raindrops from where it had been. It's either a brilliant photo or an abomination. I can't decide which :-)
