I was delighted to see close to a dozen Caspian Terns at the lake at dawn. They made two passes and left. Only a couple remained past dawn.
To far off for a good shot, I couldn't resist as it has been a very long time since I have spotted any.
This image isn't really worth posting.
One of a couple of these birds seen on this year's Ria Formosa trip. This one was on a small sandbank off the Isla Deserta. The other was fishing with an osprey in the Ludo salt lagoons.

A visit to Norfolk to see the Syke's Warbler proved unsuccessful, so we spent some time around Cromer enjoying at least 4 different Caspian Gulls.....
I took a series of photos of this tern as it dove into the pond and flew away with a Goldfish. I like this one the most because of the way its wing tip caressed the water surface. Richmond Green, Richmond Hill, Ontario
Enorme, la más grande de las golondrinas de mar con una envergadura alar de más de 140 centímetros, en la imgen se ve la longitud descomunal de las alas. Siempre escasa, cosmopolita, extraña y enigmática, la pagaza piquirroja ( Hydroprogne caspia )
Huge, the largest of the terns with a wingspan of more than 140 centimeters, in the image you can see the enormous length of the wings. Always scarce, cosmopolitan, strange and enigmatic, the Caspian tern (Hydroprogne caspia)

I never saw Caspian terns so early in the season, not even common terns are around - but those are late.

While taking photos of shorebirds out on the beach, I also noticed a small group of Caspian Terns. Seemed to be young ones waiting for something. One adult Tern showed up with a small fish and paraded it back and forth among the group, then singled out one and led it away from the rest and fed the fish to him. I didn't actually see the transfer as the bird's back was to me, but next thing I knew the youngster had the fish.
