I like this kind of thing Not 'accurate' but it is, in other ways. That's all I want to say now, too much going on hereabouts. But if you really want to know more then see pages 167-168 in my book THE WRYNECK

Cuckoo and Wryneck, Thomas Pennant, British Zoology, Pl. XXXVI. Folk names have linked Jynx torquilla with Cuculus canorus. In English, Cuckoo’s mate, maid, knave, footman, messenger etc may have come about because the spring arrival of the two birds were similar. Other ideas?

There have been several Wrynecks around so far this Autumn but I haven't been lucky enough to stumble onto one yet. These sketches were of a bird on Cape Clear last Sept.

Mystical Creature Daily Drawing - Day 3 - Eurasian Wryneck
Fun fact: These birds in real life move their heads like snakes to deter predators. It's kinda freaky how far they bend their neck.
