Diet and feeding behaviour of red-necked stints (Calidris ruficollis) and curlew sandpipers (Calidris ferruginea) feeding in mixed flocks during the non-breeding season were investigated in Western Port in Victoria, south-eastern Australia. Surface pecking was the most common feeding action of both species, followed by jabbing for red-necked stints and probing for curlew sandpipers. Mean depths of substrate penetration were 3.4 mm (red-necked stints) and 14.0 mm (curlew sandpipers). The preferred feeding zone for red-necked stints was wet mud (86%) and for curlew sandpipers was shallow water (40%). Feeding rate did not vary between species but did vary between months and age classes for curlew sandpipers. Gastropods made up 68% of the sample volume for stints and two unidentified species in the families Hydrococcidae and Fossaridae occurred most frequently in terms of occurrence in the guts and total prey items. Curlew sandpipers took a wider variety of taxa (12) than did red-necked stints (8), with polychaete worms (Nereidae) being their most frequently recorded prey and comprising 63% of the volume of the gut samples. When prey taxa overlapped in the diets of the two species, some size differences of prey were apparent. Differences in bill morphology and feeding behaviour, including microhabitat use, corresponded with these differences in diets.

The present radio-tracking study compared adult daytime microhabitat use by three large Australian native freshwater fishes (Murray cod, Maccullochella peelii, trout cod, M. macquariensis, golden perch, Maquaria ambigua) and introduced carp, Cyprinus carpio, in the Murray River, south-eastern Australia. The paper describes habitat patches used by all species and quantifies differences among species. All species were strongly associated with structural woody habitat (>68% cover), deeper (>2.4 m), slower water (<0.2 m s–1) closer to the river bank, with variations in substrate. Murray cod and trout cod used deeper habitats (2.8 m and 2.9 m, respectively), with higher surface water velocities (0.37 m s–1 and 0.49 m s–1, respectively) and further from the bank than the habitats of golden perch (2.6 m; 0.31 m s–1) or carp (2.4 m; 0.20 m s–1), the latter species using wood higher in the water column than did cod species. Trout cod used habitats furthest from the bank and carp those closest. These data provide support and direction for reintroduction of structural woody habitat patches for rehabilitation which, in general, should have >70% cover, be >1.5 m high, located <15% of the river channel (width) closest to the bank, with surface water velocities of 0.3–0.6 m s–1.
