| Abstract: | The European Storm-petrel Hydrobates pelagicus melitensis colony on the island of Filfla, located some 5km off the south coast of Malta, has been monitored regularly since 1968 with over 18,000 birds ringed by bird ringers of Birdlife Malta's ringing scheme. On very rare occasions birds with one or few white primaries or tail feathers have been handled for ringing. A partially albinistic European Storm-petrel, showing some white secondaries and greater coverts was recorded on Filfla on 1st July 1978 (Sultana 1991). |
