Fish have diverse foraging behaviours associated with specific habitats, which may lead to interactions with other species. Using ~50 hours of drone footage collected over a 2-month period, I quantified spatial patterns in foraging behaviour and individual–level interactions of Sand Whiting (Sillago ciliata), Yellowfin Bream (Acanthopagrus australis), Eastern Fiddler Ray (Trygonorrhina fasciata) and Southern Eagle Ray (Myliobatis tenuicaudatus). Data was collected from a ~70 ha area of shallow estuarine sandflat–seagrass habitat in a south-east Australian estuary. All species had distinctive variation in foraging patterns, and many expanded their foraging areas with the incoming tide, particularly over intertidal sandflats where over 60% of foraging occurred for both teleosts and Southern Eagle Rays. Foraging interactions with rays formed the majority of Yellowfin Bream foraging behaviour (>80%) in some habitats. Agonistic behaviour among Sand Whiting (identified through darkening of the snout) was common, comprising >60% of intraspecific interactions. These findings may support the protection and restoration of soft sediment habitats, clarify the role of rays in estuarine food webs and allow improved Sand Whiting population estimates in shallow water habitats. Drones are an effective tool for quantifying high-resolution fish behaviour in shallow estuarine habitats, complementing existing fish tracking methods.
