Thanks Brian, I’ve had a look through HANZAB online which only contains “Suggested that migrate singly, in pairs or in small groups”. The references
to this statement are quite old, but I am not aware of any more recent information, the main question that has come up in the past 10 years is “do adults travel together with juveniles (escort) on the outward migration?”.
Certainly, the reports of first Koels in at least 9 different locations (both N and S side) over the past 2 days (including 3 birds in Rivett yesterday
afternoon) would suggest they were all travelling at much the same time, though not necessarily very close together.

With all these birds appearing at the same time, I wonder whether migrating Koels travel as a group then disperse at their destination.

And certainly in W Rivett today too. After a brief set of “ko-els” this morning, one was ko-eling (with some short stops) there very loudly for at
least 25 minutes around 15:00, and again when walking dogs after 16:10, around which time I also heard at least 4 brief sets of the female “kek kek kek” call, and also briefly a few of the male’s alternative “whoas”, in one case answering the female call.
