Nothing different today, just my records so far (MD)

Wigeon 4 flew in from the east and settled on the sea.

Little Egret 6

Carrion Crow 15

Peregrine Falcon 1

Great Crested Grebe 7

Red-brested Merganser 14

Again the above two were difficult to count, particularly the Mergansers who were constantly feeding. This was largest group of 7

Red Nab 1.5 hours after high water:

Pale-bellied Brent goose 34

Wigeon 2
