We report the first confirmed breeding record of the pygmy cormorant Microcarbo pygmaeus within the province of Pesaro e Urbino, in a recently discovered heronry located along the Metauro river, where at least 4 nests were found occupied in 2021. In the same year, a further breeding attempt occurred at Miralfiore urban park in the city of Pesaro, proving the species’ distribution expansion at regional level and affirming its breeding status.

PlumX Metrics
PlumX Metrics provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment. Collectively known as PlumX Metrics, these metrics are divided into five categories to help make sense of the huge amounts of data involved and to enable analysis by comparing like with like.
