Another looted kill site... i only found a few secondaries and a lot of body feathers but no tail or primaries, for the second time in a row! Because of a big lack of data it is hard to determine if it was male or female. The individual was at least 2cy. Limited to no barring on scapulars, plain gray rump and marginals, barred underwing, breast and undertail and uppertail coverts. Tertials, an inner secondary and and some uppertail coverts were replaced and the replaced wing feathers don't have any bars at all. Right wing secondary has bars so if this is 2cy+ then it's a female, if 2cy then males are still possible. Secondary coverts had limited barring on the edge

Most likely a juvenile of a Common Cuckoo.

Male Grey Bushchat was mosty closeby and feeding it multiple times ( 8 to 10 times) before the female made a visit.

Call of the juvenile recorded as well - quite different

Separate observation for the male Grey Bushchat - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/85476482
