This is a great spotted cuckoo, Clamator glandarius. Like several other mystery bird species I've shown recently, this species is a nest parasite. In addition to living in Africa, this species ranges into Europe during the summer, where it also breeds.
If you have bird images, video or mp3 files that you'd like to share with a large and appreciate audience, feel free to email them to me for consideration.
