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!

While walking my dog yesterday saw a hawk perched on a fence post in the field. It wasn't small and I took a picture on my iPhone from 30 yards away. Terrible picture but is anybody able to enlarge and identify it. Lol. It's in middle of fence.

Thanks. I couldn't recognise it even when it flew across the field, but I am a novice.
Would take a real expert to identify it. All I can say is that it was definitely a hawk and they always fascinate me. Hope to spot it again when I take the dog over that field and get a closer look.
Try it on 'Identify this' forum DB, some experts on there could possibly help!
Thanks Wendy. Will do that later.
Davenboy, I don't think your bird can be identified with certainty from the photo, just not enough information there... but it's most likely to be a Common Buzzard.
Thanks aiki , thought it was a long shot, like my iPhone pic.!
I'm thrilled to see any hawk,even a Common Buzzard, lol.
Congratulations, Bob! Best of luck in your search to see them again! We wondered (back on June 5th) if the Little Owl we saw hopping about in one of the large trees at the back of the flying field at Newent's International Bird of Prey Centre, and later flying off while carrying food, was an escapee! Never did find out, but it filled the 10 minutes before one of the shows very nicely! Try there perhaps?
Kind regards, Ann
I very rarely get Herring Gulls in the garden so it was a real treat to capture this shot.!!
