Coquet Valley - Whiskershield

Well hoped to be up for the dawn chorus this morning...but no! ashamed to say we slept in.
So it was a trip to the Coquet valley instead but it was well worth as it was just alive with birds and in particular...Wheatears, Meadow Pipits, Winchats and Pied Wagtails. Its a really good place for breeding up there as theres quite a large number of each specie. We did see one bird in particular which we werent exactly sure of...it had very similar markings to the wheater but it had a white band around the back of the head/neck? any ideas what it could be? I checked the books we have but the only similar bird was the wheatear...but this had the white band around the back of the head?
Suprisingly there werent any dippers about which is unusual as we normally always see them when we go up there.
We made a detour on the way home and drove to whiskershield as weve driven past it so many times and never bothered to stop, but unfortunately we didnt see anything there either apart from sheep, sheep and more sheep, not even a crow!
But it is that time of year though the breeding season so maybe thats why theres not so much to see.
Sorry i cant put my pictures up as i need a new usb lead for my camera, but hopefully next time.
