MOUSSIER'S REDSTART - 6th record for ITALY



This male MOUSSIER'S REDSTART found on Linosa Island was the 6th recorded in Italy.
There are now four records for the pelagic Islands (Linosa and Lampedusa-Sicily) - 3 males and 1 female - as well as a male recorded near Reggio Calabria-Calabria
and another on an island off the Lazio archipelago (the northernmost island)

It is most likely that this species is a regular winter visitor to the Pelagie Islands which are the southernmost European islands, and on Pantelleria Island (60 km off Cap Bon-Tunisia)
