Worst Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards
Posted by Graeme Lyons , Monday, 8 December 2025 15:00
Here is a bit of fun. I have taken a lot of photos over the 15 years this blog has been running, some of which I am pleased with. I have also taken plenty of awful photos, some of which are exquisitely bad. I present here a selection of them! In reverse order then...
6). Above is a Glanville Fritillary that was sitting perfectly still on my finger until I took the image.
5). The day I saw my first Quail, I had my camera on, ready to take the shot as I knew I was likely to flush them on this particular farm. When they did fly up, I turned my camera OFF and missed them, even though they were right in front of me. This is all I got (you can just about see them in the bottom right)...
4). On Jersey last year I was taking a sequence of shots of the amazing shrimp Periclcimenes sagittifer that lives among Snakelocks Anemones, the light was perfect! Shame I had it on the wrong setting!!! The problem with taking photos under water is you can't see what you are doing.
3). You know how it is, on a sunny March day you go for a walk around a site you've worked on for a decade when a Large Tortoiseshell flies by! This was the shot I got as it zoomed past me.
