What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was Roker Pier and Lighthouse, on a very blustery day!

The seabirds definitely add to the picture but a just a bit too far away for me, with my limited bird identification skills, to tell what they are.

Another pic of the pier and lighthouse, from the same day, can be found here.
