Présence dans le détroit
Rare migrant.
Identification
Unmistakable. Slightly larger and darker than a Common Cuckoo, with a grey crest and white underparts. Light-yellow throat and breast; grey upperparts with white spotted wings. Juveniles have a black head and in flight reveal distinct rusty primaries. It parasitises crows, especially the Common Magpie, and its chicks develop together with the parents’ young.
Déplacements
Postnuptial migration between June and October; prenuptial migration between December and March.
