Records for Wednesday 22nd (MD)

Did the walk down the river mid-morning to early afternoon on rising tide. Game of two halves with passerines and gulls good from Arundel to Ford, water birds better from Ford to LA. Lowest number and variety of gulls I think I've ever had on the Ford-LA stretch. Walk totals below with the Ford-LA stretch alone in ().
