Moltoni's Warbler
Curruca subalpina (Temminck, 1820)
Sylviidae — Sylviid Babblers
Moltoni's Warbler, Curruca subalpina, breeds in north-west to north-central Italy, Corsica, Sardinia and the Balearic Islands, and spends the non-breeding season in north-west Africa. It is a passerine in the Sylviidae family, found around the Tyrrhenian Sea and in Mediterranean scrubland. The species is closely similar to the Western subalpine warbler. In males, the underparts are salmon pink, while females and juveniles are almost the same as those of that species. Its song is faster and higher pitched, with a rapid series of insect-like notes.
