** Roger LeBlanc paid a visit to Petit-cap on the weekend where one site there is a popular spot for shorebirds.  Roger saw 10 different species of shorebirds and recommends a visit to that spot at the moment, commenting it will probably only get better over the next week.  Roger also spotted a CASPIAN TERN [Sterne caspienne] there and was surprised to spot an immature NORTHERN GOSHAWK [Autour des palombes] trying to catch a shorebird, something that Roger comments he has never seen before.  Roger suggests timing visits to the half tide time window when the shorebirds gather on the land side of the dune.
