In this study we investigate for free-living insectivorous water pipits (Anthus spinoletta) whether prey is chosen according to biochemical quality as measured by protein, lipid, carbohydrate, energy and water contents and/or according to profitability as measured by density, size and catchability. Food preference - expressed in relation to availability - is estimated for 22 arthropod taxa (families and orders). Uni- and multivariate statistics detected no relations between food preference and nutrient contents, but revealed that larg
