The Whinchat is sometimes mistaken for the much more common Stonechat. You are quite likely to see the resident stonechats at Druridge, but a Whinchat is a scarce passage visitor. The main difference between the two chats is the Whinchat's distinctive pale stripe over the eye, which is much more prominent in adults - this one is a 1st winter juvenile. It was on a fencepost - the best place to look for a Whinchat.
