Juvenile Cuckoo, Swiss Alps
Taken in my garden @ 1,035masl just an hour or two ago.
I am going to stick my neck out here, juvenile cuckoo is the only thing I can think of. Making an unholy continuous racket, sort of agrees with Collins Bird Guide except for white patch on nape - except maybe last photo. I don't see this in my Big Boys Book of Swiss Birds, so am a bit confused. I'll do some more digging, must get some work done first. I'm sure this is going to be embarassing.
