35 ringed plover & 3 X Black Redstart in the Heritage

Monday 28th Oct 2013, 
10.00h-11.00h 35 ringed plover on Whiting beach, 
15.20h in The Heritage, Dysert  Ardmor, (on my front lawn and drive would you believe) 3 X redstart !   I can still see one of them on my neighbours lawn.... (15.30h) Is that possible? How can I tell the difference between redstart and black redstart (female / juvenile) this time of the year? I have seen Black Redstart in the Netherlands in the Summer with their breeding plumage, much darker than these birds...
