take rate. We might therefore expect that the maximum recorded intake rate, and possibly also the average, to increase when Oystercatchers feed on the more profitable prey. As large prey are more profitable than small ones, we would expect an increase of intake rate wilh the average weighl of ihe prev taken. There was indeed an effect of prey weight on intake rale, but intake rates were always relatively high when the birds PREY PROFITABILITY AND INTAKE RATE 1000 :® • 500 • foraged less than I h after a long resting period. We focus here on intake as a function of prey weight and exclude the 11 studies in which feeding lime was less than I h. We analyse elsewhere the relation belween intake rate, feeding activity and duration of the feeding lime (Zwarts et al. 1996b). Most of the prey taken by Oystercatchers weighed between 30 and 1000 mg.
