The Gale Group in the US of A is producing a completely revised edition of
Grzimek's Encyclopedia of Animal Life.  The birds were done first and their
four volumes are available.

In Volume 10, it is stated that the song-flight of an Australian Bushlark
(Mirafra javanica) takes up to 40 minutes.

Seemed a surprisingly long time.  Can anyone confirm this?
