With reference to ATels #1957, #1968, #1976 on the high gamma-ray activity of the blazar PKS 1510-08 detected by AGILE (see also ATels #1199, #1204, #1436, #1743, #1897, #1963), the GLAST-AGILE Support Program (GASP) of the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) reports on the strong and continuous optical and near-IR brightening of the source observed in March 2009. After a steady level around R ~ 16.5 registered in the second half of February, the optical brightness started to increase on March 6, and continued almost monotonically until March 23, reaching R ~ 15.2.
