I agree about the hares, but which cuckoo is suspect?
viewtopic.php?f=145&t=4517&p=406519#p406519
I have a cuckoo, which I think is a euro-cuckoo, just because it was silent, but the photo is too poor to see the beak properly, but I think it has a black tip to the beak.
Post it and let's see what others think.

There is almost no difference between European and African Cuckoo if you cannot see the under-tail and the base of the bill
and European gives more points
I have checked this and can't come to a conclusion re tail

But my cuckoo does not have one dark mandible. Upper and lower ones are pale with dark tip only. But that's more immagination than what you can see.

Most likely
Gents won't win nonetheless even if they can keep their cuckoo and their cape hare
