For the last week is has been clear that there has been an increase in migration activity of such species such as this Redstart seen near Buntingford by John Dingemans on the 18th of August. This species was also seen at Stevenage on the 18th by Darrel Bryant and another was seen on the 15th at Layston by Chris Beach.
